What would you do if your coworker does something she shouldn't?

Keep out of it. She'll get cought sooner or later.\n\nOnce, back in college I had a co-worker that stole sodas from the company fridge and she got caught. For the longest time she had been taking everything from  post its to manilla folders, diskettes and even staples but she finally got caught with the soda and I didnt have to say a word. \n\nEverything done in the dark will come to the light.

There is no seperate set of rules for the behavior at the place of work. Behave like you do at any other place. Do your work properly, treat everyone nice and have fun

I think we have all been there.\n\nI have a co-worker that just cannot accept responsibility when she screws up.  It's maddening.\n\nSo.....I went onto MSN and found an article about working with difficult people, it described her to a "T" and I typed up a label and mailed it to her.\n\nShe was furious but it brought the issue into the open as she was trying to find out who did it and therefore we were able to discuss WHY someone would do that.  We also made her "put the shoe on the other foot" and think of how she would feel if she had to work with someone that treated her co-workers the way that she did.\n\nShe's still difficult and a witch most of the time but at least she thinks about her actions a little more.\n\nGood luck, there's one at every workplace.

If it's something that can't be proven by continuing to do your work and be ignored, then I would ask to speak to your immediate supervisor and explain the situation and that you are worried it will affect the company and ask for their advice. That way, they know you are aware of it, that it is untrue, and that you are concerned about how it makes the company look.

I agree is sounds like she is targeting you. Speak to a supervisor or the Human resources department at your work. What applies for one employee applies to all, and if she is saying explicit things even on her break..if it is in the workplace and in earshot of someone who may not find it appropriate, it still counts, break or not. Dont necesarily file a complaint on her unless you have to, or she does or says something extremely inappropriate. you dont want to stoop to her level. But at least make it known to the person you speak to about this matter the entire situation. Iwould explain like you explained in your question on here. It was well put. Or even write it out first on the computer or a peice of paper in case you remember other thigns before you speak to someone. Good luck with you situation. You should not have to put up with that behavior. I can't stand people like that.

That's ridiculous.  You should report her to her boss right away.  How absurd!  Sorry that happened to you.

Find another job far away from her. She has some issues.

Rise above it. If she deliberately embarasses you, then she is the problem. Do your work well and professionally. Talk with her and inform her that you would prefer to be told about your mistakes in private so that you could remedy them. Always be professional and job oriented. Bosses hate office politics....Document all incidents that are caused by her, if it continues over a period of time approach the person over both of you. If you are doing your work well, it will show.  If she is the boss, get out now while you still have some self esteem.  Good luck.  Be proactive, not reactive.

Just tell her the truth and if she begins to go off, just leave.  You don't have to worry about seeing her anymore if you quit so who cares what she thinks.  Or you can stand your ground and when she begins to go off just say, "Look!  This is exactly why I am quitting.  I deserve to be treated with respect and any manager that runs a respectable business would know that it is inappropriate to humiliate an employee in front of other coworkers.  As for you constantly accusing me of theft without any proof...some people would consider this harassment and grounds for your dismissal."  That should shut her up.  Good luck.  I've had one too many bosses the same way.

Clarify with them exactly what they need to be doing, what their limitations are and what the consequences are if they do not comply.\n\nFor anyone that cannot understand that you might think about terminating them and finding someone who WILL work well.

i agree with the guy above me. unless.., do you live in florida? because here we have an at will relationship with employees. you could fire her for coming into work without bringing you a smoothe if you want.\n\nso i think, because she is completly manipulative, and bad at it or else she wouldnt have gotten caught so easily, you should tranfer her to florida and fire her a**. \n\nif you cant transfer her then go with what the other guy said.

The greatest form of revenge is to act as if nothing has happened.  She obviously gets something out of how she behaves - most likely her reward is partly the reaction she gets from her colleagues.  So don't give any reaction.  Rise above it and be the better person.

I wouldnt have hired her to begin with.  You are obligated to take the responisbility now to discipline her in whatever ways are necessary.  I woud start with a written warning and hopefully she'll understand you're not playng around.

Are you crazy!  You have no choice but to sack her.  It is theft as well as just plain dishonest.  If you keep her on your staff You are reflecting a belief that you condone such activities.

It sounds like it's always one person on a job that does that. I bet she been on that job a long time? She wants you to know she rules the breakroom. She is showing off. I wouldn't even go in there. I would stay at my desk or go to my car for break. I would reverse it, you said she ignores you, I would ignore her. She is doing this act on purpose, she sounds a little intimidating too. Ignore her, speak and that's it, if she speaks back fine if not fine. But IGNORE HER. Beat her at her own game, she will be wondering then what she did wrong?
