Help with Passive Agressive Co-worker...
OK guys I need some help....
I started a new job about 6 months ago. I used to work for this company years ago and they called me to hire me back. Since I had left they hired a new woman. She is not very nice and is extremely fake!! She is a grown woman, but she behaves like a child. She always tries to divert the blame to someone else, she is never wrong and she knows it all type of personality. She is short, fat and eats fast food everyday. She drink soda ALL day long..prob. like 8 cans a day. She is buddy buddy with the boss...and they are both super conservative Christians. Anyway, I know she tries to shift the blame on me every chance she gets, keeps me in the dark half the time on projects we are working on together...doesn't copy me on emails etc...She loves to complain.
We are supposed to work as a team, but I do not know how to make it work. I am ready to go and have a talk with her about how I feel, but I am scared. I am scared she will be 2faced to me and then go talk to my boss. I am good at my job, but not as good as I can be in a dysfunctional team environment like we have going on. I came from a wonderful design firm where I worked with 3 other girls and we ALL made a great team. The money wasn't that great and I had a child so I left and came here. I really love working for this company, but not with this woman. How the hell do I approach a conversation with her? I know she will get defensive. I can't ignore it. I am not that type of person...but I don't want to start waves. I need this job!
