I will keep this short and simple. I am one of 5 managers in our office. My fellow managers are my equal... not my superiors... I am not thier employee just to clarifiy. I have one coworker manager who has extreme mood swings. One moment she is nice.. and then she can bite your head off. Unfortunately she came in my office acting like my boss and bit my head off. I told her she hurt my feelings and that she had no right to interrogate me on anything. She immediately apologized and offered to buy me lunch... ok forgiven but not forgotten. I had a bad weekend a death of my 14 yr old dog and a family fight left me emotionally sensitive.... that Monday same thing.. interrogation by the coworker. I took it to my boss and she didn't really hear me but after she said " you know she is going through some stuff right now and she is moody". I told my boss I had a less than nice weekend and told her I don't buy the excuse for being rude.. any suggestions for the future?After I told me boss that I expect to be treated with manners and respect by my coworkers she immediately moved the problemsom employee to the office next to hers.. to keep an eye on her... That won't stop anything..I am pretty sure by what is being said around the office that there has been many complaints and some by patients families... so I hope it changes and if it cant' I wish they'd get her going already.

you are just going ta havta put yr foot down and tell her that if she messes wit ya one mo time yer gona hvta slap her around!!

If she buys you lunch when you tell her she hurt your feelings, don't change a thing! Just keep telling her she's hurting your feelings. There is such thing as a free lunch!

It's good that you've told the boss, and that the boss believes you. Since that's the case, this bully can't get in first and cause trouble for you with the boss, as they often do.What I would suggest is, the next time she comes to you showing any sort of bad attitude, the MOMENT she starts showing attitude, hold your palm towards her in a motion meaning to be quiet, and say something like, "I am NOT listening to you until you can come in here and speak to me as an equal. If you can't respect that, you can leave my office immediately, and come back when you can act like an adult". Walk to the door and hold it open, which will give her a chance to either be civil or leave.People like her really only understand actions like that. They're too caught up in their own self-importance to listen to anyone who will allow themselves to be walked over.Good luck.

She is a coke-fiend or a pill-head and is just having trouble not fixing during the day is all. Give her a drug test and you will see what I mean...

OMG!!! I know someone like that at the office I worked at. You have to put your foot down to show her that you won't put up with her punk a**. I did it and the lady stoped harrasing me and started being nicer to me. She's a bully and it makes her feel superior doing that to u, just don't let her. Next time tell her if she doesn't give u the respect as a coworker she won't get it either and take notes of everytime she comes to your office, so its documented....She needs to take it up the a** .....

Rise above all of this and remain calm and dignified, as is expected and required in today's workplace. If this woman attacks you, ask her to take a minute to calm down for both your sakes and then speak her piece. In other words, kill her with kindness, You sound to me a tad self-righteous and petty. You will get a lot farther by being sweet and nice than by getting all huffy. Doing the best thing in any situation does not mean that you have been defeated, only that you have chosen to take the high road.
