> what a nightmare!
<<Good, so it's not just me? My boss isn't "getting" how much this bothers me...>> Have you made a really strong case for needing to move out with your boss? Did you tell him/her the details such as having your personal stuff disturbed?
<<I've told him the details, plus how she just stands in my doorway and stares at me. Sometimes, I shut the little door between our "spaces" and I can see her shadow hovering under the door. She's just standing in front of my door, doing I-don't-know-what. Eavesdropping? Getting up the courage to knock?I've told him how she'll sit in my office and not leave, even though I ask her to. How she insults me, says negative things about me, etc. He just says, "well consider the source."
I was on the phone about a home-equity loan one day, and didn't want to disclose some finanical information within coworker's earshot, and she asked me when I got off the phone if it was about a job interview. I said no. She asked what then? I said I preferred not to talk about it. She asked later that day if it was a job interview with so-and-so? I said no. She had the blippin nerve to ask me when she got back from vacation, 'so how'd your job interview go?'
Errrrrrr.
An office opened up a month ago, a specific office that I asked for. It's not as nice as mine (I have a window), and my boss put someone else in there (with less seniority than me). I called him on it, and he said, "well, you don't want to give up your window, do you?">>Is there an HR representative you can talk with? It sounds like this woman is really interfering with your ability to do your job.
<<Good point. Never thought of that. Our HR isnt that effective, but it would be the next official step in the chain of complaints, huh?Thanks!
