[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long has it been? Give her time…in 6 months to a year, she will probably calm down & fit in better. Her issues are borne out of insecurity & trying to prove she has value…if you have a healthy dynamic on the team, once she isn’t so worried about proving herself, she will probably become a much better teammate. 
And as a new team member, she does deserve interactions that are “friendly & cordial.” She is learning…even if you don’t personally care for her, your boss chose her for this role, & your boss probably expects you to provide a minimum amount of help and support as a senior team member. 
Now, if it’s been 5 years, that is a different story…[/quote]

OP already has made up her mind and her “question” is really just seeking agreement. OP chill out, you’re not the newbie and you’re not the boss. This will work itself out on its own.

And maybe open your mind to not disliking her so much. Until newbie calms down and assimilates, try to limit your interactions with her. You will be happier if you decide to keep an open mind and not dislike her. OR, what if you tried to like her or at least understand her? That might give you the perspective change you need.[/quote]
