Dealing with THAT bitch at work, how do you manage it?

Here's what you do. The next time she says something hurtful to you, ask her if you can talk about the issues the two of you clearly have. Maybe ask her if she wants to get something to eat at lunchtime - hey, you could even shout her lunch - and have an open and honest conversation. Really get to know her, work out how she ticks, what makes her happy and sad. Explain that you find her comments upsetting and you're keen to iron any issues out. Perhaps you could continue the talk over dinner?

etc.

Beautiful.
 
ProTip: Don't work in offices, they're ******* awful places to work, and I should know, I wasted 10 years of my life being stressed, overworked, underpaid and miserable trying to get along in various offices.
 
My last employers had a woman with a power trip and shockingly bad people skills, i dealt with it for 2 years (to build up experience) then left.

Never been happier.
 
I work in a office full of women and some days I am the only guy there. It's a nightmare working in an all female environment, they talk some **** at times. I end up justs hoving my headphones in and cracking on with my work. Been in that office for 8..... yes 8 years and still dont have much in common with them.

Luckily I can work from home so this week for instance I have just worked from home everyday :D

Thankfully at my main job I get on with everyone, no problems whatsoever. But in my Saturday job there's this ginger girl with bad eyebrows and a lisp who's a bit nasty. I ignore her mostly. She doesn't bother me too much.

You didn't have one job a week ago and now you have two? Well done!

In regards to the OP, I work with only women in one of my jobs and my boss can get very tetchy, but I just ignore it and get along with thing - water off a ducks back, just don't dwell on it, make sure your work is done to a good standard and if that fails, just pour brake fluid on the roof of her car.

My favourite is to go "Have you done X yet?" knowing full well you haven't asked them to do anything.
If someone else is around, follow up with "Well it was urgent, I'll have to sort it out." then looked annoyed and leave.

It works at all levels in the workplace.
 
I would ignore her and i mean like she does not exist. If she talks to you, do not reply. Do not make eye contact at any time as to you she does not exist. This tends to really annoy these type of people as they thrive on you beeing upset.
 
Dammit Magnolia I was going to suggest something similarly as long term as that :p

Or just a falcon punch.
 
Now, most important question, are you bending over backwards for her and letting her walk all over you or have you actually said to her that you don't appreciate being treated like she is obviously is?

That would be my first approach, if she gets even more funny simply turn around to her and say "I will be raising this with HR and my manager, I am not happy and I don't particularly like these childish actions you are taking"

Will put her in her place soon enough unless she really is a total ****. In which case, you will win and she will get a slap by management.
