[quote=Anonymous]A colleague was recently promoted to a finance role which has some oversight over peers on paperwork matters. She seems to be struggling, but what's really problematic is the tone of her emails. Recently she misunderstood an issue and thought I had made a mistake (I hadn't) so sent an email to me which concluded with "Please take time to make sure you double check your paper work so that this doesn't happen again." (this message was copied to several others). It comes across as lecturing. She is not my boss, nor is she my senior and what's more she was wrong. When she realized this, there was no apology or acknowledgement of her mistake, let alone her dressing down of me. This doesn't fit with the culture of my workplace.

This is basically the pattern of every interaction we have. And it's not unique to me. She never admits any mistakes and is very quick to blame others for her mistakes. The fact that she was promoted was surprising. Do I continue to ignore it, or address it? And if so, how?[/quote]
