[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lord, people need lessons in reading comprehension.  Does her negativity affect core performanc metrics such as professionalism and teamwork?  How big is your staff?  The smaller the size, the greater the effect of negativity in the office atmosphere.  Is there a group norm of cheerfulness and optimism that could influence a change in her behavior?  If you've exhausted all the beneficent steps (talking with her, etc), I would absolutely begin to document it if it affects performance.  Employees like this usually feed on weak management and just get worse.  Sorry you are dealing with this.[/quote]

+1 to all of this.

Also, I think it's fairly clear that "odor" was supposed to be "aura." So many wannabe editors on this site. [b]I actually AM an editor and I would never pick people's posts apart the way you all do[/b].[/quote]

Then you should recognize that you need a comma before the "and" to avoid a comma splice.  For the record, I am NOT an editor.[/quote]

NP here. A "comma splice" is the incorrect use of a comma to join two independent clauses. It is not, as you seem to think, the absence of a comma.

Here is an example of a comma splice:

It is raining today, I will take an umbrella to work.

Thanks for playing, though. I never would have posted this petty stuff if you hadn't felt the need to do so yourself.
