[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One more thing: it only matters if your supervisor thinks you are competent, not your peers.
They can't hire, fire, promote, give/take away projects like she can.

The supervisor is the one who hired me. FWIW she says good things about me to other people, but never to my face. She doesn't usually get involved in my actual work and leaves me to it, but when we have meetings she consistently does not pay attention when I am talking (but listens to everyone else) and she will find some excuse to reject all my ideas before they are even out of my mouth.

Coworkers are not the ones saying she is jealous, but others I have gone to for professional advice have said this may be the case and that they have seen it before. The coworkers notice that she shuts me down all the time. They have mentioned this to me without my asking. I think they all have their own issues with her behavior, but I find that I seem to be the one who is consistently shut down without any thought. Supervisor is the one who makes all the decisions but at least she will listen to my other coworkers. [/quote]
