[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to get out in front of this. Bring it up to your supervisor as a risk you've identified -- say you want coaching on how to handle possible issues that may fall out from this. View this as a professional challenge for yourself. Be honest with your supervisor that you're surprised by her behavior and you're looking for ideas on how to interact.

DO NOT buy her gifts. If can have a sit-down, do so, but keep things impersonal -- talk about how you'd like to get her input on how you can work better together and see what she'd like to make your business relationship smoother. Realize it may just be that she is mentally not-so-stable and her behavior is not a reflection of you.

If she's a drama queen (sounds like she is), ignore her crazy behavior, don't feed into it, and bring her back to reality in all your interactions (e.g., if she emails you with something off the wall, only respond to the rational portions).

Finally, if she does affect your customers, make sure to document and escalate.

OT but what do you do if you have mentally no-so-stable coworker? Not OP.[/quote]
