Just overheard my b**** of a colleague

[Anonymous]

I might confront her directly to her face and tell her that if she has a problem with your work, she needs to tell you directly. Then point out that if she isn't telling you directly, she's only interested in gossip and slander as opposed to actually solving the problem. Hopefully that will shut her up.

Sounds like just another day in academia.

What is your relationship with the superior like? Does the superior take everything your colleague says as gospel?

Totally. Is this woman your direct peer? How close is she to the boss? And, how did the boss respond to her comment? Des the boss like you or her better?

This shit does matter so much and you want to get ahead of it if you have crazy office politics.

I have no idea why this person hates me so much.

I think she knows I heard her say it. What do I do? Ignore? Say something to her?

Fix it with your boss without being direct. Then never even think about trusting that chic again.

I don't have a Millennial boss but do have employees of that generation. They fit the wussy stereotype to a T. It's not my fault your greedy asshole parents ruined the world for everyone.

Ignore it, OP, unless she is trashing your work with your boss. Then, ask her about it and tell her what you overheard. End of story. Don't engage in petty office politics. Nothing good will come of it.

OP here. I think I am going to ignore it.

She is the epitome of passive aggressive. If this person was my direct boss then perhaps I would address it with him but he is not. though I do (and have) worked on things in the past with him. I will let my work speak for itself.

And will obviously stay the hell away from her. She seriously scares me. Very manipulative and threatned bc she is overpaid and does not have the attributes to back it up. I think people are starting to catch on that she brings little to the table.
