Co-worker slammed door in my face today

[Anonymous]

This crossed a serious line for me. Co-worker, let's call her A, was in B's office with the door closed. I knocked on the door and, and A answered and gave me a nasty look. I said, "Hello, just letting you know that Mary is finished with her portion of the interview, and the candidate is ready whenever you are." A said, "noted" and slammed the door right in my face so hard the walls shook.

After our meetings were over, I told A that I didn't appreciate having the door slammed in my face, expected it to never happen again, and if she wanted to apologize she knew where to find me.

She came to my office and apologized while denying she even knew it happened. I'm pretty sure she's lying, as right when it happened, B told her how rude it was, and she said, "I know." So first, she denied it happen, then denied even knowing that the door had slammed. I find that all very hard to believe.

The backstory is that A has a reputation for being rude and difficult to work with, and I think was holding a grudge with me about not doing some work she was trying to push to me yesterday. I've never had a problem with anyone else in the office -- only A -- and practically everyone has had a problem with A at some point or another.

A also happens to be our company's daughter.

I plan to talk to A's boss about it tomorrow, as well as some other "concerns" A expressed during our chat.

Just needed to vent. Feel free to offer any advice.

So she came to your office and apologized? End of story?

Perhaps. In my opinion this crossed a serious line, though. We will see if I cool off overnight. Who goes around slamming doors in peoples' faces? If that's acceptable behavior at this company, then I guess it's not a place where I want to work.

If I were the boss in this situation, I would plan on streeting you as quickly as possible.

Grow up.

Good for you for calling her out. She apologized. Accept her apology (even if it's crappy) and move on. As far as you are concerned, she admitted wrongdoing and apologized.

Sorry but it’s not that deep.

You really shouldn't go to the boss about this. It won't reflect well on you.

"I plan to talk to A's boss about it tomorrow"

This is a mistake. You will not win here. She is the daughter of the boss or president. Suck it up. It wasn't personal - you said she is rude to everyone. It was just your turn in this instance. Let it roll off your back.

Don’t talk to A’s boss about it unless you’re prepared to be unemployed by the end of the week.

She apologized. What more are you expecting to happen? I'm not even asking in the context of a connected coworker but if this were just another unconnected coworker like you. I mean, are you expecting her boss to take her outside and hang her upside down by her toes until she cries 'uncle' or do you need her to sit in the quiet corner with a 'stupid' hat on or are you going to make her wear a 'rude' sign? If you came to my office with this complaint, then I would be looking at you as the problem-maker because you're continuing to stir this pot. Connected or not, the other worker would stay and you would probably be out the door.

+1. Good that you said what you did, but now it's done.
