So, I'm working with possibly the most unpleasant coworker I have had in quite a long time. She's higher on the foodchain than I am (though she reports up through an entirely different management chain than I for quite a ways), and seems to feel that this means she is too busy to supply the right answer herself. This business, however, does not prohibit her from having enough time to make her best effort at publically humiliating me if I am incorrect. This also doesn't prohibit her from making my best friend's life hell by expecting my best friend to correct my behavior when, point in fact, I don't report to my best friend. It's shredding my self-esteem, and has essentially made me utterly unwilling to even touch email with her name on it at all. I am really quite ready to just scream at her 'Why don't you SHUT the FUCK UP, you CUNT'. Though I know this is, obviously, not within the corporate charter. So I'm trying to think of better ways than that to get across to her that her behavior is outside of the standard I am willing to sit still for from people I actually admire, and I haven't admired her in a very long time. Suggestions? Even if they're silly suggestions, hey, go to town, folks. This is a venting exercise, rather than a serious quest for solution. I'm just sick of her being a twat, and am letting off steam, rather than looking for some way to make her suffer.
