How do you deal with back stabbing co-workers without management getting involved? I do not want them to prove anything!

office drama is tricky to deal with. If you dig yourself in by getting revenge its going to escalate into something that will get management involved and may get you both fired. Do nothing to the person. But also realize that you can use this person. Don't tell them anything you don't want repeated but if you want everyone to know something, tell them and they will. Also, make sure you keep notes about everything. Keep your evidence hidden so when they do try and get you in trouble you'll have proof of where you were and then you can turn around to your manager and point out all the things that you have noticed this person do that's against company policy. Good luck and tread lightly!

Gone unchallenged, this problem will not fix itself.\nIf your friends are content with this...do nothing, but if it unacceptable behaviour by someone at work, then talking to your boss without being confrontational is absolutely appropriate. Sometimes a boss is unaware of all that goes on so give them the opportunity to hear your concerns. \nAlways document incidents/dates/times/who is involved just in case you require future reference though.

Honey, it's none of her business, really. If it was as violent as you say, and only close friends/family know what happened...I say you might want to keep it that way. This is a personal and tender issue that she needs to not be a part of. My best friend was murdered when I was a teen. Only her family and a few of us who hung out w/ her at school, knew the real details. We had to keep it quiet due to a gag order so we didn't compromise the case. You know, you could use this excuse as well. That way, you won't feel obligated to tell anyone anything because legally you can't. If after that she still won't respect your boundaries, talk to your supervisor about what you expect in the work place to feel safe and comfortable. You have the right to not be harassed in any way.

You sue if you can prove they have let you go for what your saying. You can not allow anyone,company whatever do you wrong.You take action and follow thru.Just plan act and keep it to yourself.You got to make it bad enough that they never ever do this to anyone else.THen again if they give your job back just have forgiveness in your heart.So really what happens is in their hands.Go for the throat.I sued the Federal Government.

Stand up to them and refuse to be bossed over. Most of the times these bossy goons get scared as soon as you confront them.\nThe worst scenerio is that you may loose the job and u r contemplating that anyway. So if you hae to go out , go with a bang and not with a whimper.\nIt might help to do a bit of lobbying beforehand to make sure you have support from your colleagues.\n\nAs Votaire said, "Of course u can kill a flock of sheep by chanting incantations, but there won't be any doubt if you feed a bit of poison beforehand."

All of the above has happened to me more than once; at restaurants I have complained to the managers and if they are just as bad as their staff, I inform them that I will be telling everyone that I know how bad they're place is and those people will tell they're friend and so on. I have left stores that ignore me, my hard earned money is better spent elsewhere. And if I feel like I am being followed I stop, turn and confront the person doing the following!

First, you did the right thing by reporting it to management.  While it sounds like you don't have much faith that they will follow-up properly, I would still wait a little to give them the chance.  Then, talk to your general manager and see if a follow-up has been done.  If it hasn't, inform him that you are going to HIS manager etc.  If all else fails, you can file a report and have the offender brought to court.

Yeah, with how highly strung the work force is now a days,  they will probably be some humourless emotionally beaten old woman in the corner cubicle ready to scream SEXUAL HARRASMENT, which i'snt going to be a great thing for you.  My advice for the future...  if your going to do something like this again... do it on a Friday... because most people have a condition called DIGAFOF (Do I give a .... on fridays?) and might find it funny as inteded. As for cover ups... thought about calling in to work until Friday?

I understand how frustating that could be but don't get yourself all worked up over it.  Keep doing what you are supposed to do.  Don't worry about your co-worker.  I'm pretty sure that your employer will catch up to him or her eventually.

Oh my gosh, did you work at the same place I did?  Your story sounded exactly like the situation I had.  Management and supervisory positions had changed at my work and from then on, the nightmare began.  The witch who rose to power was a narcissitic, egotistical backstabber who made it so unbearable for everyone. She continuously found it amusing to berate, belittle and degrade each and every employee in the company by telling us that we were underworked and so grossly over-paid (we all made more $$$$ than her). Someone who is in the psychology field said that this supervisor's had low self-esteem issues (she weighs close to 300 lbs.)and it is satisfying to her to put others down in order to feel better about herself.  She can't control her weight so she tried to control others.  Unfortunately, confronting this supervisor only compounded to the problem, as she could not take constructive criticism from ANY employee...and talking to the owner of the company proved to be useless, as he always avoided any type of problem or confrontation issue.  Since I did not have an advocate or anyone I could really turn to, the stress of going to work every day was taking it's toll on my health.  For peace of mind and sanity, I gave them my two weeks notice but did not burn my bridges upon my resignation. It is a good idea to have something lined up to go to, especially if you need the income and medical benefits.  You really don't want to be at the mercy of your current employer when it comes to recommendations or verifications.  Good luck.....

It has been my experience that avoiding those kind of people causes them to find ways of attacking you personally. Staying to yourself usually isn't enough in that situation. Either several people will have to go to the boss (or HR) or find a way for the trouble-maker to have duties outside the office. Eventually, the boss should recognize that drama only happens when she is around. Be forewarned, though, most bosses probably won't care and will just dismiss it all as petty cat fighting.

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.\n\nbefriend this person, don't complain about them any more, and wham when ever they say  bad - you can casually mention to the boss which is negative about the job or your boss let your boss know :)  Yeah be a backstabber/brown noser

There is at least one of these in every company. If the girl is a co-worker (meaning she is at the same level as you and has no supervisory authority over you) tell her in a direct, yet professional manner how you feel and that you will not tolerate her bullying tactics. If the girl is in a higher position than you but is not your direct supervisor, first get absolute clarification from your direct supervisor as to whether this girl has any supervisory responsibilities over you and if she doesnt then tell her in a direct, yet professional manner how you feel and that you will not tolerate her bullying tactics. If the girl has any supervisory responsibility over you and your boss is unwilling to step in and support you and you feel that you cannot continue with these bullying tactics then you should start to look for another job.\n\nIn the meantime focus on doing your job to the best of your abilities and try to ignore her if at all possible.

Be very proud of yourself that you are an admitted thief....what a nice thing to tell us about your character. And you are certainly trustworthy, aren't you. Do you really think the boss isn't going to notice the inventory missing? Sorry, but time to grow up. Perhaps the boss thought you were all cleaning up, serving customers, ya know, the stuff you were being paid to do???? But with your work ethics, what a stupid thing to think. Sure wish I knew where you work (I use the term VERY loosely)...you wouldn't be there long. Grow up fast. You will all be fired very soon. I certainly hope you do not need this job as a reference.

Do not even tried, i have that experience, and guess what? the umbilical cord from those people was cut with the same knife/scissor.\nAnd beside if you do not like to kiss/^%$# and you know that you are a good worker, who cares about the rest. also remember if the boss/manager is a minority and her/his favouritism is to those ones coming from their groups. we are lost, not matter what they pretend, we are not blinds, we can see it but remember this and keep it on mind.\ndo you remember the as%%$% name SADAM H. his power, his money, do you remember where he ended? in a CAVE am i right? that is telling us that soon or latter this people not matter how high is their power soon or later they will have their own. and it will happen. not matter who they are where they came from, white, black Hispanic, Phillips, etc...

You DO have legal recourse, regardless of anything you may have done to pizz her off.  She might just blow away if you were to confront her and answer her questions and take her hostile comments so she she could get it out of her system.  Then again, she could cut the brake cables on your car.  Obviously she is obsessed with knowing fine details about who you are, and is in a poor state of mental health.  Such people can be very dangerous.  Get in touch with local law enforcement now and ask them what can be done.  Your coworkers are witnesses.  The police are there to protect you, not to judge you.
