Question - (18 March 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 19 March 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Hi all, I need to have a moan about my colleague. She's only been with the company 7 months and in that time she has already applied for a senior role- which she didn't get, thankgod! She is really argumentative amd cause alot of problems. Our manager has had words with her and given her a warning already for her attitude!

She also uses people. For example she befriended 1 colleague then got bored and then befriended me and now moved on to someone else. Everyone sees what she is doing.

She always has to be centre of attention! Last week we were sat in the canteen and I was talking to another colleague when she blurts out " oh my god, I can't believe it" when I asked what was wrong she replied " oh nothing, just my mates ex added me on facebook". She just wanted to interrupt our conversation!

The list goes on. The rest of the team just slag her off and our manager isn't keen on her. But they won't fire her.

Advice appreciated!

I'm the poster of this.

I wanted to say thanks for the advice.

Almasdp u hit the nail on the head! I totally agree! She already claimed a co worker was bullying her when this wasn't the case! Evidently she is trying to turn the tables on everyone, very sly!

Strotium dog, thanks for your in put. I will stand up to her, she is just very overpowering & in your face. The funny thing is we can all own up to our mistakes& apologise but she always disagrees even if she wrong!

Unfortunatly people like this exist- i've worked with plenty! But in my experience she will say the wrong thing to the wrong person and will be fired! In the meantime just avoid her when u can. Or if u have the patience try to get to know her better but don't expect miracles. Good luck x

This is a woman with severe insecurity issues. So maybe you could try just talking to her and finding out about her. She is longing to be liked, and understood. So try to understand her, and then maybe you will like her.
