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.


either push back and stop being walked on or make good on your threat to leave, but still keep an eye out for something better anyway, because you don't want to be left flat-footed in the event they take you up on your offer to quit...

I didn't take that as rudenes. I am pretty sure he was just teasing. *NM* - 16/11/2010 10:55:35 PM 393 Views
I thought that was possible on the original reply. The second removed my doubt. - 16/11/2010 11:08:04 PM 940 Views
