What can I do about an employee picking out all my  flaws and making them known?

That co-worker is trying to kiss butt to look so good... However, if the manager, or supervisor should notice this, the fact that he/she con't even offer any bit of assistance makes him/her look pretty bad on record...  If that supervisor does not keep note of such actions, then he/she is as biased as the coworker. \nBut your supervisor is in fact neutral, as he/she should be, you should go have a talk with him/her, or even file a complaint against the co-worker and state it as negligeant and unprofessional, Would rather show some bad attitude, than to upkeep a positive working atmosphere, and what more to make that this co-worker is going out of his/her way to hold things against you...  The fact that he/she is breathing down your collar in hopes of finding any flaw you'll do, you can get away with filing for harrassement and, in fact you can say that whatever mistakes held against you are the result of him/her attempting to intimidate you, and whatever threats that are being waved in your face by this individual.\n\nCheers!

There is an old adage:  "Sunlight is the best disinfectant".\n\nIf you openly confront this woman, you are facing an all-out war.  She will despise you for having exposed her misdeeds.  If you anonymously send the General Manager proof of her actions, he may be inclined not to believe the accusations.\n\nYou could have a meeting with the General Manager, and ask for anonymity.  However, you must have all your facts completely established.  Getting people to write their opinion will not be accepted as fact.\n\nYou need absolute proof, and to show her INTENT to cheat and lie.  She can always claim these were innocent mistakes or things done without her knowledge.\n\nRemember, you will need verifiable dates, names, events, and most importantly, a CONSISTENT story from each person who was a witness to any of these events.\n\nYou do not want to come across as a whining malcontent.  If you show indisputable proof, the General Manager will have to act.

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!

well, those things i dont think you can really control without offending someone. i think the most you can do is try to encourage everyone to dress nicely. and remind them that how they look reflects how much they care about their job and the business they work for.

Tell your boss. She is being irresponsible.  You are being taken advantage of, you need to stand up for yourself.

I would think it would depend on whether it was "you as employee" or "you as yourself".  Ethically, any personal notes should be deleted or forwarded.  Obviously, it is technically possible.  I imagine you would be on shaky legal ground regarding use of employer's resources for your personal business.  That's just me.  I am not a lawyer.

tell them to put in writing, this normally will quench an over zealous company; ask them by detailing exactly what you have allegedly done. As mentioned criminal acts can still be pursued with no time limits at all.

What you need to do is document it, keep a record.   I would file a complaint with the labor board.

Try keeping a journal of his behavior and taking it to his manager with the promise that you will also give this to your manager and request that it be discussed at the next managers meeting. Also imply the cost effectiveness (or lack thereof) due to decreased productivity. This can also go to someone higher up in the company. If you prove that his behavior will effect the bottom line you should get the response you need.

Don't contact anybody in the company to do something about it, save that for the attorney. HR is there to protect the company not to help the employee. They will start "shredding", getting stories right, conduct a token investigation, etc... The longer they are unaware the better. Let them drown in their own ego's. DON'T speak about it to ANYONE at work(the company has spies).  As instances happen,or shortly after, like on break, document what happened (who,what,when,where)(with who witnessed). Obtain names and contact info for all coworkers you can,and break it down into category's (victims, witnesses, offenders). \nContact some GOOD attorney with as much info you can give.\n\n\nAre the people being harassed of a certain class? (race,gender, age, disability, religion,sexual orientation,etc) if so its discrimination.\nIt has to be about money: it talks the loudest!, when it starts costing the company $ it gets the big people involved.\nStress may be a workers comp illness claim. $$\nI loath this typ of behavior.

I'm assuming you are referring to personal info, not work related info. I've worked many jobs and the only thing I can tell you is that there is an "a**hole" at every company, no matter how much you like your job. As someone else said, just communicate with her regarding work related issues. You don't have to be best friends with the people that you work with, but sometimes you have to try to work with them as much as you hate them as a person. If you really can't stand it, find another job. Writing her a letter along with the rest of your coworkers is just going to cause more trouble. When I was younger, I used to let people like that bother me to the point that I would "tattle" on them. But in the end, I'm the one that suffered. Just do your job and only tell your personal business to people that you do not work with.

You have three choices, and only you can judge the feasibility of each of them, because only you know the people involved and their personalities.\n\n1) You can try to bring the topic up with your boss, very carefully and diplomatically.  Bosses are all different, and you'll have to judge her personality as to whether or not she's accepting of constructive criticism, especially of such a personal nature.  Of course, if the personality is not a good one then you of course risk a backlash that could hamper you at work by poisoning the relation.\n\n2) If you are acquainted with the higher-ups, you could approach one of them - again diplomatically - and try to put in a bit of "secret" reporting for which - if they are prudent and respectable - they should appreciate.  Once again, you risk a backlash against you (only you know the people and can judge the circumstances) either for breaking the "chain of command" or when your boss figures out (or is told) of your reporting.  On the other hand, a reasonable higher-up should appreciate your concern for the organization - you be the judge.\n\n3) You could just let the hammer fall on your organization by stopping your additional duties of performing your boss' job.  This may actually be the least realistic of the choices, because it may be hard for you to do this without looking negligent yourself.\n\nAt any rate, you should take careful note (keep a secret notepad) of **ALL** of the instances that this has happened, and what corrective action you have taken.  You should actually start this immediately, and just see how the situtation plays out for a while before doing anything.  But continue your records, because if you have to do **any** of the suggestions above, it will wholeheartedly bolster your case if you have documentation of the problem.  Of course, your boss won't be interested in this information (makes her look bad) but if you have to go higher in the organization, this will be imperitive.\n\nGood luck!  This is not an easy or comfortable situation!!!

Maybe but I doubt it......defamation would take more and continuing attacks on your character from the manager to really end up being defamation.  I think you have to be able to prove you are somehow harmed in your everyday life...to be truly defamed.

you need to take initiaticve and do it yourself.  Then present to your level of co-workers, let them have aome input.  Then present to the higer-ups.  or you can ask the higer-up to giv eyou a crack at it (which they would perfer, i'm sure, but since they are unorganized....)\nDo they have a board of diorector?  These are the folks who ususally are responsible for such an act.

Do a couple of surprise monitorings. Show them the new results and the results obtained when you were letting them know when the monitoring was being held. Explain that, if the new results are bad, your job is to report bad results. So you all have to work to get those reports up or else its out of your reach to stop any consecuences.

Look them directly in the eye the first time they do it and ask them if they're feeling ok.  Then tell them your expectation is that they will treat you with respect.  If they continue, document every incident so that you have specifics to present to your supervisor.  Many managers would like to also deal with the issue but it is difficult when employees only approach them with generalities like "Susy Q. is rude to me."  Managers need specifics to be able to address the issue with the employee.  They need to know exactly what was said by both of you, the date and time, and if there were any witnesses.  If you provide this, you will find get better responses.  Also, ask yourself why you have had this issue on every job.  Perhaps you could take a conflict resolution course as well.  Also, most often the guilty party is a completely different person in front of the manager so it sometimes takes awhile for the manager to ferret out the real situation.

I would confront them, let them know you take pride in your honesty and want to be a good employee. who wants a reference in this computer age saying your a thief
