[quote=Anonymous]In a nutshell, a coworker and I don't see eye to eye. We report to the same person; coworker is in her 50s and I'm in my mid-30s. There have been many instances of her making a mistake, and when I point it out to her, I'm ignored and the mistake continues. (and these are mistakes in the magnitude of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars. Not trifling little errors.)

My tactics thus far have been emailing her documents with issues highlighted, following up in person, asking if there's a better way to get info to her, following up again via email & in person, etc. She only replies if the boss is cc'd. This holds up work (and frankly it annoys the hell out of me, but I'll try to keep emotions out of it). Awhile back she refused to do something time critical and I went to the boss, who basically told coworker to buck up and do the work. Since then coworker has really refused to work with me, to the point that someone else in our department took me aside and said he was shocked at how CW treated me during an informal meeting.

I have no desire to make friends with this woman, but we do have interrelated work. What do I do?[/quote]
