I work side by side at a desk doing a joint role, our computers are duplicates, we get the same emails, we both answer the ph, we both greet clients, all the work is to be done by both of us. However, she is there full time and me and another person job share working 2/3 days each week. The person i work with is always 'checking up' on me, asking what Im doing, where im at, telling me what needs to be done and i often catch her just watching me and what Im doing. She constantly makes little comments, but in a 'friendly' way that if i complained about to the boss or said something to her, it would make me look bad. It's getting to the point that i hate going to work (although i don't hate my job). This is also an industry ive worked in since before she was born and she's been doing for 3 months. She is good at her job but i do not need to be micro managed by her! I can see what needs to be done, i can read the emails etc, i am always busy and never doing nothing, but if im not doing things her way in her order/priority sge gets narky. It doesn't help that she's best friends witj someone else there who is the bosses 'teachers pet' so im pretty sure the girl i work with bitches to her friend and is then 'encouraged' to continue bossing me around. It feels like a constant tug of wills at work and now i just plsy dumb, like i don't get her subtle 'hints' and just continue to do my job my way (i was working there before she started anyway). So how do i deal with this situation. I often feel like shit and super pissed off, but i don't know how to put her back in her place nicely, without some big fall out, but I'm so, so, so sick of sucking it up! She doesn't do it yo the lady i job share with because that lady has been there for 7 years and good friends with the boss.
