Irritating co worker

LegacyUser

Hi, just looking for advice from people

I have an extremely passive aggressive co worker. She's very manipulative and the kind of person who bullies through social exclusion.

She also is the kind of person who takes over any conversation, even talking when it's clearly a conversation between only two people in the staff room, for example.

From the time I joined work she just hasn't liked me, but I tend to keep my distance and not react to any snidey remarks because it's not worth my time and saps energy but it does bother me.

Usually in the office because its so fast paced if errors occur, its no biggie, whoever spots it just corrects it as it happens to everyone but she makes a point of traipsing to our supervisor to point out any minor issue with me even when its easily correctable by herself.
I guess I'm painting her badly, but last week I had to talk to my supervisior about a reference doe a job I'm going for and of course it got out that I may be leaving as my supervisor is a loud person (although really nice and gave me the best reference I've ever gotten, it was that nice and she let me listen in on it).

Since then this co worker has been impossible. She has this notion she's the best at everything I'm jot sure why and now im moving to a more senior role I guess its eating at her.

I'm really not interested in office politics but she's behaving so much like a petty school kid its bothering me way too much.

How do I get through the next month without screaming in frustration? I like where I am but the money is better with my new offer and I'm looking forward to it. I just want to leave my old place happy as I've got great colleagues apart from this one sour person.

Ignore her. Not everyone will like you and not everyone will be discreet about it either. Sounds like she's insecure and taking it out on you. Don't entertain her, she's looking for a reaction, once you go she'll dig her claws into someone else and everyone will see her for what she is.

I'd say you're not alone in how you feel about her. Do you have any colleagues that you trust to vent your frustration to? I doubt that loud supervisor is a good candidate but maybe someone else? Venting won't solve the problem but it may help you to feel less isolated and annoyed by her.

For the sake of a month, paste on a smile every time she is near you.
Remind yourself that she actually doesn't matter a damn to you.
You are on your way to a better paid job, you will be rid of her in a month. Just keep thinking of that.
