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

Cover your back and just act as pleasant to her face as you can (through gritted teeth).

As with everything, there is a small minority who spoil it for the rest and every workplace has someone who can be bitchy.

I fixed a laptop for one woman manager and she immediatley reported me because she thought I may have been looking through her email.

Another woman manager sent an email telling me I need to grow up even though she knew that I was being forced out of my job.

So, be rest assured, it's probably not only you she's been bitchy too and karma will catch up with her one day and she'll run out of the office bawling her eye's out over something.
 
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.
 
The best I've ever seen this handle is someone actually politely confronting the said "bitch."

They simply approached them and asked what the problem was. They very tactfully handled the ensuing conversation, not once provoking the "bitch" but at the same time never patronising them. I'm not necessarily advocating that this is the way to handle it, but I was truly impressed at how quickly it came to a resolution, and they both now have respect for each other.

But, like I say, I wouldn't advocate it as it could easily blow up in both parties' faces.
 
I constantly get comments from one woman at work because she is stick thin and I am not. It used to bother me, but now I just have to look at her ugly face and realise why she's doing it. :D

Seriously if you are feeling bullied, having just spent the day on "bullying and harassment" training, you do have options. Shout if you want any proper info. :)
 
if you cant deal with beeing harassed start drinking or taking drugs, if u dont want that grow a pair and man up, or watch snikers advert with MR T on the tank should give u an idea :D
 
Just let everything she says and does slide over your head, I've been doing it for years.

Although, that's with my parents.
 
Remember "THAT bitch" is a person too and there's probably a reason why she is like she is. Try being nice to her, smile and say hello to her when you see her. In my experience a lot of women who make it into a management position have difficulties dealing with subordinates, I think because they're women in a male dominated industry they think if they screw up the management will think they're weak.

@DJ Jestar - that really is a good post.
 
Kill her parents and make them into Chilli, and on the next day say to her "i don't know what i have done for you not to like me, but here's a nice bowl of my own Chilli to make amends" and then lick your lips and walk away!
 
Well she could blacklist me in the industry in a matter of a day. She's a manager but not a director...either way I'm going to talk to the director when my contract runs out. I do SO much for SO little pay and how I am repaid? With nothing but disrespect. She talks to me as if I'm a piece of **** on her shoe.
 
There's about 24 people in our office (20 women & 4 blokes) and we all get on well with each other and every now & then we all go out for a meal.
There is one woman who can be a bit miserable at times but has no power and is easily handled.
 
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?

Meet for dinner and let her know how attractive you find her. Oh, she finds you attractive too? Well, that's great! Keep talking and learning more about one another but remember to have a good time and keep that spark going. She asks you back to her place for coffee but you politely decline. Another date then? Sure!

Remember to build the relationship with her at work as well. This is crucial and shows her that she was wrong to jump to the assumptions she'd made of you. Let her see the real you.

After several months of being in a relationship you decide it's the right time to ask her something. You want to move in with her. She cries and says yes. You find an awesome place close to work and things couldn't be any better.

Well, actually they could. Because later the next year you ask her to marry you and whilst unexpected she's deliriously happy. The wedding goes perfectly and extended family make the comments regarding the pitter patter of tiny feet. You smile knowingly but say nothing. Plenty of time to have a family later on.

It's a Wednesday and you catch yourself reflecting on how amazing your life is. You call her extension to let her know just how beautiful she is and how lucky you are.

Two fun-filled years pass. She becomes pregnant and months later gives birth to a beautiful baby girl. You name her Anne after an aunt your wife was particularly fond of and she grows up into an inquisitive child and then an intelligent and attractive young lady.

More years pass and it's almost Anne's 18th birthday. You and your wife decide to hold a surprise party for her and you contact all of her friends and all of your relatives. You hire a venue and have it professionally set up and catered. The party comes as a genuine surprise to Anne and she's delighted. During the party you take the mic and address the guests.

"Hello everyone, thanks for coming to Anne's 18th birthday party," you begin. There's a mild smatter of applause and you continue. "The reason we're here - you, me, my wife, Anne - is due to some events which happened many years ago now." You pause, watching the audience.

"My wife," you say, pointing over to her,"was a bitch when I met her." There's a nervous giggle from someone in the crowd but you ignore it, trampling over it with your next words. "A real bitch, actually. Such a bitch that I had to come up with a pretty complicated plan to get back at her."

You survey the crowd again. Incomprehension features on most faces, some are still smiling thinking this is a joke, others are looking shocked, perhaps aware of what is to come.

"I don't love her of course. Who could love a bitch like her? And Anne? I had her so that I could berate her once she was of adult age just like my bitch of a wife did to me."

There are gasps of disbelief and murmurs of discontent. You ignore this and plow on. "The whole thing was a sham. These women mean nothing to me and I have absolutely no respect for them at all. Vapid, idiotic shells passing as interesting people. And now my plan is done and I've achieved what I aimed to. I'm leaving you both," you say to your wife and daughter,"and you'll never see me again."

They're holding each other, shaking in disbelief, looking physically broken. They're crying of course and you smile, your lips stretching into a grimace which threatens to tear them apart. You lean in close and whisper, "I never, ever loved you, you disrepctful bitches."

You leave.


INCEPTION.
