[quote=Anonymous]Ignore? Say something to her directly? Make a passive aggressive joke (honestly that’s more my style- not saying it’s ideal).

Co worker who is in a different group than me but with work that crosses over into mine occasionally (and vice versa) is often rude and controlling with work, acting like projects are her decision and only she can discuss them with senior people… (projects are not her decisions, nor mine- we are both mid senior level managers who report up). What’s frustrating is that she will jump in on an email chain where a group of people have already discussed a plan for what to do, and she will contradict everyone to say ‘No, I’ll speak to Bob and let everyone know what next steps are’. Again, as if she controls things. And even more frustrating is that she then sits on things and doesn’t deliver. This has happened on one project for 3 months now.

I do not report to her, nor do these other people fwiw.

This example perhaps isn’t entirely clear but she’s generally just snippy and rude and weird about everything. One time she got visibly upset because a group of us got on a zoom call to discuss the project even though she had said she couldn’t attend. We didn’t know that- she canceled at the very last second, and the call had started already so we decided to continue. She saw that the meeting had started and apparently left her other meeting, or whatever it is she was doing that made her cancel, to get on the call to chastise everyone for speaking. It was so WEIRD. [/quote]
