Re: Friendships Gone Sour
Irem, there's more to this than I've put down. I'm 100% confident that my relative isn't the issue here. It came out that this other woman had issues with other co-workers in the past and is known for this kind of harsh behaviour. My relative just gets the brunt of it though cause they work literally side by side. However, the other woman has been acting out like this with another person, but that issue wasn't taken to HR as they didn't work side by side.
In their past discussions where they attempted to resolve the issue (prior to HR's involvement), some of the complaints about my relative was that she was talking to people this other woman didn't like at work. So, my relative stopped talking to them in order to protect this woman's feelings and make sure she wasn't being hurt unnecessarily. It didn't make the issue any better. If anything, the other woman has been going around badmouthing my relative to other co-workers. It's a good job my relative is well known within the company so most people aren't buying into the lies she's spreading about her.
Basically, she thinks she's after her job which is why she's so hostile and full of attitude now. My relative has told her repeatedly that she isn't interested in her job, taking over her job or even helping her. At first, she used to help out with the other woman's work cause their manager had asked her to help and that's when things actually began to get really bad. The whole, "you are after my job" fiasco started then.
Matsui, she's been documenting her tantrums in detail since November and already took it up with HR. It hasn't done much expect cause the other woman to lash out even more.
Roman, she's looking into getting a new job but she really doesn't want to as it's for all the wrong reasons.
