We had a bully. nossy Send a noteboard - 17/11/2010 03:27:31 AM
Sometimes people are just like that. I had to yell in this woman's face to show her who was boss (and I am not That Person). Once I had put her in her place, or at least showed her that I wouldn't take her shit, we became friends. I still visit her every now and again.

If your workplace is such that you don't feel comfortable telling her how it is and really making yourself heard, you might have to put up with it or leave.

In all seriousness, we don't have enough information on exactly what she's saying/doing. Tom - 16/11/2010 11:21:22 PM 907 Views
How does she not answer to anyone? Is she the manager? *NM* Ghavrel - 16/11/2010 05:37:52 AM 391 Views

Hrm. Whether there's recourse or not depends on whether you're supported by management Sareitha Sedai - 16/11/2010 04:14:20 PM 904 Views
There is no HR dept/ and she is the owner's wife. Amyrlin - 16/11/2010 04:37:09 PM 969 Views
...have you tried talking with her about it, or are you just assuming it will go poorly? *NM* LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 05:03:18 PM 435 Views

I don't read every thread on this board. I don't have to. Rebekah - 16/11/2010 11:04:56 PM 931 Views
I didn't take that as rudenes. I am pretty sure he was just teasing. *NM* Tashmere - 16/11/2010 10:55:35 PM 443 Views
I thought that was possible on the original reply. The second removed my doubt. Rebekah - 16/11/2010 11:08:04 PM 1012 Views
