I don't understand it. I have been working since I was 18. I am now 53. There is a girl 28 years old in my office that had just gotten her masters degree. She is unbelievably arrogant. Just because she has an education, (not that I don't) she is being a real (female dog). Almost impossible to work with. She saunters around there with her nose up in the air and is basically must think that other people are just to ignorant to talk to. I don't know how to handle her other than ignoring her. OMG - it is almost laughable!

Maybe it has nothing to do with the fact that she obtained her Masters, or rather this is just her personality. I betcha you can people doing her same work for pennies under her salary who do not have the masters.
She should take it easy though as being completely hated by all employees in a company will make for an uneasy environment, for her that is.

Absolutely, you hit the nail right on the head. You could swear to God that Paris Hilton was walking around in the office.

Try to remember what it was like to be that age. No amount of study or degrees can teach as much as life itself. Looking back at yourself or people that you have known can give you a new view of her behavior. I am sure if you look closely enough you will probably find a young lady trying to make a place for herself in the job market with no clue of the impression she is leaving. I am retired and have been witness to the arrogants of young adults (with and without degrees). In their mind they have it all figured out and no one can tell them different. Looking back at myself, I would like to go back and tell myself off. LOL!!
Good Luck to You!

maybe this is just a front because if you are not the only person in the office feeling this way toward her she may be feeling it best to put up an arrogant mask. talk to her about everyday things that women share, makeup,money saving tips,festival cooking, children, women in politics,womens magazines, handsome film/football stars and maybe even aknowledge how hard it must have been for her to find time to get her masters degree. get her on your side by breaking the ice and then you too will start feeling better when you go to work,good luck!

Like that huh - I didn't know if I could write the word in here or not. She is just that and struts around the office. If I did that I would feel like a fool.

I haven't worked in several years, myself, but we all have to deal with difficult people in our work environment. Like one mylotter said here, this just might be a front on her part. I also happen to agree with another mylotter. Show this girl love and talk about things that women normally do. Maybe this will help change her. Good luck.
