[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm for one glad that you didn't hire her. She basically came into your area and showed her behind and how she would work under you.

Crazy how some people would have hired her to keep the peace with her uncle.

Keep documenting but at least start looking for a new position.

Don't leave your job - it's your job - fight for it.

When it come to workplace bullies, I've (almost) always taken the direct route.  Go talk to the uncle.  Explain (again?) why you didn't hire his niece and confront him about his retaliatory behavior.  Tell him point blank you expect him to stop.  Like all bullies, he will say one of two things - 1) deny he's doing anything wrong, or 2) ask you what you're going to do about it (i.e. he doesn't fear HR).  In both cases, you must do one important thing - stay calm.  Then you look him straight in the eye and tell him that you're not going to HR, since that would be a waste of time.  Rather, you're not afraid of his actions against you and will do whatever it takes (i.e. make something up about him) to ensure that he feels the same pain he's putting you through.  He has a lot more to lose, especially if your accusations would be something that regulatory authorities would be interested in investigating.
