[quote=Anonymous]Op I've been in your shoes, with coworkers telling me that a more senior woman felt threatened by me. She was 20 years older than me and had always been the closest to the even older male boss. Soon after I was hired he kept coming to me for ideas instead of her. We had different expertise, but mine was more closely aligned to that of the big boss and hers was more in admin. The hardest part was that we were leading up different teams, and I needed her collaboration at the end of my projects to make them successful. I think I stayed in that toxic environment for far too long, and it may have hurt my career. One time after she literally screamed at me in public, I went to big boss to say that this was unacceptable. He sighed and said yeah she's a pain in the rear. I'll talk to her. But all that did was make everything more passive aggressive. Big boss relied on her too much to make a change, even though she alienated me and several other young staff who would dare to speak up at meetings. No great advice. Just commiseration.[/quote]
