just started a job I really like- but of course nothing is perfect- there is one hateful woman who talks and makes fun of others(I hear her talking with others and her other tough friend that works there) and obviously quite insecure with her job as well.Anyway- today I got a bug virus in my computer- wasnt really happy because it ruins your productivity but the managers know as it is an equipment issue, not my fault.Anyway- this tough woman was laughing like mad because I was not able to work - Should I just ignore her?(Shes got senority but not my boss- only a peer)ANd lastly- do you think she and the other woman bugged my computer- would that even be possible? I just want to do my work and go home- not interested in the juevenile troublemaking- but also dont want to be taken advantage of and framed for things- I hope my manager doesnt think I put a virus in my computer- Help please- very intimidated by this woman- she looks like a woman that would/could slash my tires ouit of just pure jealously.
      Answer1:Yes, ignore her laughing.At most, you could suggest to your boss that shes hurting morale -- stress how much you love your job otherwise.Its unlikely she put the virus on. Without proof you shouldnt even accuse her.I doubt your manager thinks you intentionally put the virus on your computer.As long as you do your job, and are pleasant and professional, your manager isnt likely to be looking for bogus reasons to be unhappy with you.Uh, stop making up things about her without any evidence.WHY would she slash your tires? Do you have any reason to believe shes done that to anyone else?If she actually causes you any problems, talk to your supervisor, or to Human Resources.
      Answer2:Hello,I had a similar incident not long ago , But I am the supervisor and she was hired in, Every one just thinks she is the best even though she is lazy and does not do her job well, We actually got into several arguments and she called me names and threw something at me, I was told at the meeting with the other higher ups that If I initiate another argument It could mean my job, I read several books and determined that yes she is jealous, And What I did was totally ignore her, If she was around I just went the other way, . She also had all my help not liking me also because they saw her treating me like crap and getting away with It and they lost respect for me.They were constantly laughing behind my back and even to my face. It has been several months now and we are sort of on speaking grounds, The other employees are starting to see her lazy habits and are starting to respect me again so just hang in there , Do your Job, It will get better once the other employees see that yes you are a good worker and yes you are going to stay they will warm up to you,Amber
