What should I do about a jealous coworker....

[Anonymous]

I am wondering what I should do about one of my coworkers that works at my job. We work in a childcare together and our company just got sold. I've known this lady since been before we started working together and have been warned by many people about her. The current situation is that our supervisor gotten sick and has not been able to come to work for months now and now this coworker has been called in to come and to step to take place until our supervisor comes in if ever. it's all have happened to the very odd time because since our company got switched over which was once what was once everybody working part time job now has come to people working part time and full time. She was very jealous when she found out our supervisor who is the only person who works enough hours to get full time benefits. Ever since then shes been plotting for the supervisor position. I think she would make a horrible supervisor because all her deasions would be based on her emotions. Me and coworker have never really gotten along but have been cordial with each other, For the past few years. honestly I've never liked this girl for many reasons. First if all, she has a very disrespectful son (hes 8) who acts out in front of parents, never follows the childcare rules and has hurt other kids before. But his mom always covers everything up so it has never been noticed. Second ever since her new mission for this supervisor position shes been willing to throw whoever she feels is a threat or doesnt like under the bus she has always been jealous of me and my success, I have no kids, I don't have to depend on public housing or welfare and I'm able to do stuff that she's not because of her own choices. When our job wasn't willing to give me the hours I needed I went out and found something else and a lot of the parents use me for babysitting gigs because they love how I interact with their children. Ive heard from several of the parents i babysit for that she has went to themnand harrassed them and telling them not to let me watch their kids and to give her my jobs instead. Sge also goes as far as to tell parents their children arent safe with me. Third the way she handle to kids in the childcare is horrible. There are a lot of children who have come to childcare and are scared of her. In front of the parents she is very nice and friendly and when the parents leave she is very loud and rough. In our childcare our policy is if a child cries for over 15 minutes then we go get the parents. She will go get the parents the second a child cries because "crying gives her a headache" instead of trying to comfort the child and meet their needs. Me also being a nanny I know that every kid that comes in our childcare comes with different sets of need levels. Some high, some low. Basically now she is on a mission to get me fired and going to my GM making up lies about me.

Does your new company have an HR system in place? I would document everything as much as possible (which may be hard because it sounds like she's very underhanded).

Keep a list of dates and situations to protect yourself. Find out if there are official channels to take.

Good luck!
