Do you have a co-worker that doesn't like you?

[Mskanga]

I have one of them who cannot deny the fact that she can't stand me. I have not worked or talked to this woman , I worked with her once but never again. Well, today she went on to complain to other employees about me , apparently she's bothered by me talking to other employees. So one of the other employees came and asked me not to talk when she's around. Now you may all think that I talk all day long at work , but the funny thing is we don't get to talk much because we are always busy doing something, so if we talk for maybe a minute in between lunches in school , that's a lot.
Apparently her MIL died recently and she's all stressed out and she just doesn't want to hear me. Well I'm sorry that her MIL died , but everyone has their own problems and we don't tell the rest of the world to shut up, do we?
The good thing is that I am not the only one she does not like, there are a few more.
I think she's actually getting bothered because I don't care if she likes me or not and she's trying to pick a fight.

She sounds like a pill to me. And the co-workers who are asking you not to talk when she's around so she doesn't have to hear your voice don't sound much better.

ETA: But just think, you are someone's annoying coworker, just like me! (see my sig)

I'm sure there are people that don't like me for whatever reason. As long as it doesn't interfere with my getting my job done I really don't care. I know there are people who's voice I can't stand to hear in my office for various reasons. I just do my best to tune them out and when that gets to be impossible I go vent to a friend. Sounds just like what this woman was doing only a mutual friend decided to take matters into his/her own hands and intervene. Just ignore it.

 

[binny]

sounds like a real winner

I know you work in an elementary school, but do they have to act like it??? Sheesh!!!!



And stop talking when she's around... maybe its just me but I would talk more, louder and as near her as I could.

Sorry, that just really irritates me!

I had this at my old job. She made my life miserable. She was always complaining that I was not a "team player" because I was friends with other employees who were also part of our department and they would not give her the time of day. By the time I finally left I felt so sorry for her because with all of her backstabbing to try to get people to hate me...she just encouraged them to hate her.

I felt like I was back in high school again but she was in her fifties and I was in my early twenties

That's actually what made me mad Mal, it was one of the older ladies, nice lady. I think she just did it thinking that I would watch not to bother her with good intentions, but sorry, if hearing my voice for one minute bothers you, then buy yourself a pair of ear plugs. I'm sure not going to stop talking to my other co-workers for the minute that we get to talk.

 

[SnoWhite]

Yep!
I work in a comission based store, and some of the people I work with are VERY competitive. I just go there, do my job and come home, but some of them don't like me because my customers won't let them help them and will come back when I am working. I don't tell them to do this, so I don't know why they get upset.
It's amazing to me how childish some adults can be.

Yep, unfortunately it's my boss.

Urgh--that's a tough one. I had a boss that did not like me, which is weird, because he's the one that hired me. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

I have a co-worker who doesn't like me AT ALL. I used to take it very personally, but it finally dawned on me that she is just miserable ALL the time, and she can only get to me if I allow her to. So I don't. It's been much nicer since I had my little epiphany. I think it's starting to annoy her now that I don't let her bother me any more. tee hee

 

[snoopy]

I think everyone here likes me, except Miss Fancy.....she might not like me all that much, but the feeling is just a dibby dab mutual. Actually, though, its not really about disliking each other, just not really on the same wavelength.

At my old job though, I worked with a racist/sexist jerk who hated me. The feeling was more than a dibby dab mutual in that case, I really disliked this person. Can't say I have felt that way about many people, but he was definately one of them. He would come in and brag that he used his wife's handicapped permit to park in one of the few handicapped spaces provided (when there was a guy with MS in our department who could barely walk some days), he used to make my skin crawl. Ick. I don't even want to think of him.

Yes, I work with the "Hyena Lady". Gotta laugh just like an hyena, whooping and chortleing! Phony though. Major suck-up to the supervisors, but the rest of us get condenscending remarks if any. Talks in baby talk on the phone too. We share a contact at one of the vendors we use, and she told me that she doesn't like talking to my co-worker because she "chirps" on the phone!
I almost quit because of her, but perserved and now she just amuses me. It helped that everybody else dislikes her too.

Yikes on that one.
I know one thing , this woman came and told me one day that the spanish speaking people in that school were talking bad about me. I asked her how she knew and she said that she could understand spanish. When I told her that I was spanish and I heard what they said and it was nothing about me or anyone else, she was ticked off. She definetely profiles there , the bad thing is that the rest of the people let her get away with things because they have to work with her daily, I don't work with her because I go to several schools and she's not my boss so I just ignore her , but if she says something I won't shut up. Now I am going to talk more and louder!!

 

[Missy1961]

I had one of those, too. She didn't like anyone. She went thru people's desks, ratted on latecomers, etc. She was a nasty witch. Well, she didn't score any points with the bosses. Her work was lousy, her attitude was worse, and she got fired in June. And it wasn't a dignified exit, either. She had to be escorted out by security and her boyfriend called up and left threatening messages on the voice mail. Work has been so much better without her.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

Don't worry about it. She's sounds like a head case. You're better off not being friends with her. There a few people at job that are same way. I just don't bother with them .

 

[disneydragon]

Wow, you all must be REALLY annoying.

 

[janette]

I have one of those, learned to get over it and also found that only she takes herself seriously. Kind of sad to be older and miserable, only worried about what everyone else is doing.

 

[minniepumpernickel]

I have one who likes to argue with me. She is pretty much at the opposite end of the spectrum on every issue than I am. She sames to take it personally that I do not agree with her.

Now she keeps bugging me about my new dating relationship. I don't want to reveal too much because I don't eally trust her as someone I would want to confide in. She is really just kind of a pain.

 

[Serena]

Yeah, I have someone that doesn't like me. I don't like her either so it's even.

 

[EsmeraldaX]

My exH works here. He has the maturity level of a 6 year old and refuses to even so much as acknowledge my existence when it comes to work issues. More than once, I have had to approach him with a work issue and he passes me off to someone else because he can't even talk to me, or bring himself to respond to my emails.

He works way on the other side of the building, in a totally unrelated department and I only have to deal with him maybe 2-3 times a year.

I think it's fairly safe to say he hates me.

Aside from him, no, not really. There are a few people I have nothing in common with, or don't personally like a lot, and I'm sure there are some who feel the same way about me, but we all get along on a professional level.
