i have a workmate that i don't get along well because her attitude.i'm the one assigned to oversee the interns that comes to our lab.but then what i don't like is that there are times she'll pull out an intern to go to a med mission which i have nothing against it,all i want is for her to tell me things such as that.coz i'm the who will be held responsible for the intern if ever.what should i do?should i tell our dept head about it which is she's super close with.

I think the best way to solve this is to talk with your co-worker first.Ask her/him about everything that has been happening between the two of you.Explain to her your side in a nice manner.Then after that if things didn't work out right after negotiations, I think that is the right time that you should let your department know about this things and maybe the two of you will be okay ..

im hesitant talking to her now coz in the past i already talked to her about some other things but then she won't listen. that's why i don't know now if she will listen if i talk to her.but i'll try.

I think you can just give her another chance to be told your rule of doing things.
because she reports directly to you, not your supervisor or something. if you don't know what she is doing or had done before, how can she be awarded?
one can not get well with his or her leader or super won't make progress in their career.

If that is me, i will try to work out our differences, have a talk with my co-worker and have meal together, figure out what is the problem inside both of our head, i just have to think of a solution so that we can work along with each other for the sake of our job responsibility and the future of our company. I will behave like a grown up instead of a child, no more fighting over a toy mentality, try to get along with everyone in the workplace instead of not getting along with this or that.
