How do you deal with a disrespectful female coworker?
I have a coworker that I find very disrespectful
It took me a long time to notice it, because she's a woman
My male coworkers are always very respectful
That's when I began to see how disrespectful she is
To put it in few words, she always talks to me as if I was her son
Always belittle any issue I have and try to tell me how to do my job ... even though she knows nothing about it
everybody complains about work, she complains about work just like anybody else
When I complain about my work, she always says "We are all going through the same thing"
Anytime I tell her an issue with my work, she tells me "You need to ... and make sure that you ...." even though I know it's not my fault, but somebody else
Anytime I tell her how to do something, she says "Anyways" and moves on to say how she wants things to be done
Sometimes talking to me, taps the desk with her nails as saying "I want things done this way"
Other times she is going to show me a piece of paper and snaps it before showing me something
Based on her ....
All my issues at work are my fault
All her issues at work, are other people's fault
Keep in mind,
My male coworkers are the complete opposite
To the point that i feel they call me "Sir" way too much
If she was a man, I would have told her to go Mod cut. a long time ago
Obviously, I can't say that ... and I bet she knows that and takes advantage of it

Reason: Inappropriate language.
But seriously, go talk to HR. There's two reasons for this: 1.) They may actually help you deal with it 2.) Your visit will be recorded and if there's an unexpected altercation, the record will show that you have complained and tried to resolve the situation the right way which will make BIG difference when they are deciding who to fire.

Sure you can say that. You just need better words. Choose your moment carefully and call her out.
But make sure you're not coming off as a whiny little brat.
I'm not sure that being a woman has anything to do with it. A**holes come in all shapes and sizes, regardless of gender. If she is bothering you that much, tell her. Maybe she doesn't realize how snarky she's coming off.

I agree, it could be a man or a woman
except that with a man, we would have cursed each other out, not talked for one week and then we would have been friends
in this case, it has been dragging on for years and if I dare to go off, I bet I would be in deep s...
I am curious. Why do you continue to talk to her, when she belittles you, and you say she knows nothing about your job? It sounds like there's no need for her input at all.
Never mind...I went back and read again what you said. Sounds like you do need to talk to her from time to time. Sorry.

Is she your boss? Why is she telling you how you suppose to do your work, or how SHE WANTS things to be done? Do you need to discuss with her your job?
