people you work with

I would say to ignore her and try to do your work the best that you can. I know this can be hard to do, but you can't let these kind of people make you hate your job. You are not there for them, you are there for the job you are doing. I think this kinda childish drama is ridiculous. Just don't let it get to you, it would be a shame to loose a job that you love, or once loved, because of someone else. Just don't let it get to you.

You may open this matter to your HR officer because they are the best person that you can rely on on work. I just hope that the HR officer is not friend with your co-worker because it might affect the situation. Person like her should not work is such company because they don't have the manners.

I'm with Dansazz on this one. I would just ignore it. I've worked with people that I'm not overly fond of and also ones that I know are not too fond of me and that talk behind my back. I ignore it. I know that's hard but it is the best way, I think. I'll be polite and friendly to them at work because the alternative just makes for a miserable place to work. I won't go out of my way to be friends with them outside of work and I don't talk about personal issues with them at all. As for not doing their job...I might mention it to them once if I think they forgot or maybe don't realize they are supposed to do something but after that, I just keep quiet and pick up the slack. I don't ever get confrontational with them because honestly, it's not worth it.

I would just try to do my work without giving her any concern. As long as her lack of doing any work does not effect you, then leave it be. If she isn't doing work that is supposed to be a team effort then I'd say report it to a supervisor. Dont' do any work for her just to save your own behind. I am sure the other people in the office know all about her and her antics.

The best thing that you can do is to ignore her..don't entertain any gossips nor to react to avoid stress..Focus on your work..don't be so affected. The more you entertain her stupidity and laziness the more distraction you receive.
