[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am willing to bet that this is not about your supervisor being jealous or intimidated by you. ([b]Which, incidentally, is the standard response most of us give to our friends when another woman doesn't like her -- "Oh, she's just jealous of you!" --[/b] so I'd take what your co-workers say with a grain of salt).  Your supervisor might find you annoying or lacking in your abilities/work ethic/etc.  If you are giving suggestions and input constantly, I'd find that annoying, too, if I were her.  Your constant input might be perceived as you trying to outsmart her or undermine her authority.  You might think you're a great worker and a "go-getter" but maybe you come across as being over-eager and full of yourself.  So take a step back to take an honest look at yourself to see if any of this might be true.  In the meantime, try laying low for a while to see if her behavior towards you changes.  [/quote]

Is this really true? People have also said this to me about my boss.  [/quote]

Quotting myself - actually, it's not that people say she is jealous, they say "threatened because you are better at XYZ than her," Same thing?[/quote]
