What would you choose?

@JaneCas try to block out all her bullshit, please. You love your job and you’re doing nothing wrong. You aren’t the problem. The problem is that woman, so keep doing your thing despite her. If it becomes completely unbearable one day, then the worst that might happen is you switching department or simply quit.

@Dethmoore thank you for this and it’s hard when it triggers me but yes I will hang in there despite being uncomfortable, I guess it helps since I work from home to

@JaneCas Maybe relaxation techniques when you feel triggered? Like controlled, deep breathing or something of that nature. Again, as long as you do what you’re there to do, I think you’re fine. Just make sure to do enough to cover yourself to not get in trouble. If you need help from your supervisor or team, ask because that’s what you’re supposed to do? Communicate when you need. You’re there to get paid, not to get harassed by an old hag, so get that money.

@Queendragonfly yes you are right! Lol it makes me anxious because I grew up with ppl like her

@JaneCas Have you heard the expression "There can only be one strongest tiger in the jungle" ?

You're the tiger. The one with balance, who got eyes and ears everywhere and won't miss a single shot. You are well coordinated and you follow your routines.

While she's more like a Bear. She wakes up late. Go look for nearest food. Sees a nice tree, scratches against it. Notice a banana tree. Climbs up in it. Eat some more.

You and her as both very strong animals but your skills are different. She's explicit at new ideas and thinking outside he box while you're more structured and analyzing. If she was a tiger too you two would get nothing done because both would wanna be the leader , the one in charge.


So. If you can combine both's strengths you have a real solid team. She completed you and the other way around.

See it like an opportunity to challenge yourself to growth, that all people have different skills.

My drama teacher happens to be the Bear too. Drives me nuts but it Teaches me to let go and not be so damn perfect , that's also a very important lesson.
