Dress better than her 😂 j/k.. practice detachment & calmness when you have to communicate with them, etc. Sometimes those kind of people feed off of emotionally charged reactions so maybe starving it will help foster a better work relationship.
Thank you 😊 It has worked for me so I thought it would be helpful to share.
Start looking elsewhere as direct manager is key relationship. You don’t want to stay under someone who is not an advocate and fan.
Truth to that. It’s been on my mind.
Don't look more talented than her. Suck up and make yourself useful.
At my job, some of the housekeepers give the mean girl vibes off on me as well. It’s a little different because it’s your boss, however, what works for me is just ignoring the drama. I know it’s easier said then done, but people like that feed off of your reaction. If you act like you don’t care, they won’t mess with you. Just keep on doing your work like you normally do. If anything go above and beyond. Now I will say if time goes by and things don’t change, definitely stand up for yourself, I always say my mental health is more important than a job. Again, this is easier said than done. This may not work for everyone of course, but I Hope this helps a little bit.
I’m glad you recognize it straight on. It took me 6 months to realize why life turned on its head.
