I had a woman like this in an office I used to work for . I went so far as to report her to the boss and the boss told me "I cant fire her she is one of my wifes best friend " clearly he never got the idea that business and friendship should never be mixed . He also told me that she was due to retire in a few months and he would not want to ruin their friendship " . This woman consistantly cursed in the office and was constantly talking down to her husband who worked there as well . I am sorry you are going through this it can make you dred going to work every day . I hope you can get through this and I wish you luck . I would try killing her with kindness and have you found out is she related to the boss or friends with the boss ?If she is then you are in a losing battleground and it will not get better. I do wish you well .
I had co workers like this in the past and found that most of the time these people were insecure in their lives. I think the opinions of one coworker won't matter in the long run--unless you let it.
No way is this woman going to bully me out of that job.I like my job and like I said in the previous response I'm there to stay wether she likes it or not.
Thanks.I will keep you posted.
Hey Debbie, me and you are pretty much the same far as the status at our job. I been at mine for 4 weeks and I have went through this with a woman a few times but I just laughed. Only thing in my situation is that I have to continue talking to her because she plays a important role in what I need to do to please my supervisor. So just do like I have been doing and kill her kindness.

Is this the same woman who you allege saw you looking rather downfallen and tried to cheer you up? The one who has a boyfriend? The one who you now claim is "touching" you and "picking you?" I never could decipher the latter, have an image of simians picking grubs and fleas off each other ... Or is this another coworker about whom we've not yet heard via your continuing saga?
TVSG, I would take a totally wild guess and easily figure out that the disparity between your and Debbie's situation is wildly disparate. Debbie can put together a bunch of cohesive sentences to produce a post which is understandable both where grammar and content is concerned while you continue to fumble around and fail miserably on both scores.
Debbie, the advice you've been given from the get-go has already been acknowledged by you. You were looking for assurance and you got it. Cheers!

No I'm not attracted to this girl at all since she is big as a house. Maybe that's why she is so irritable
What has worked for me is to limit contact. Plan your question in advance if you need her assistance. Once you have your answer then say thanks and cut off the conversation.
Do not engage her otherwise, I think the flattering, ect will only feed the ego. A bully will never change, you just have to keep your shields up! Good Luck!
Usually being really nice to this type of person is the best thing to do. It makes you look like the good guy to others, and it will honestly make her leave you alone since she sees she can't rattle your chain and will go elsewhere. Good luck!
Thanks for all the great comments and suggestions.I did turn around yesterday and start making conversation with her.I asked her some misc. questions about what her different interest were....She seemed to lighten up and laugh.
So hopefully that's a sign that things will get a little better.She even helped me without being snide yesterday.So that's a definite step in the right direction.
I only hope it continues.
