My coworker hates me. She has enlisted a new coworker in her campaign. I have discovered emails in which they call me names and make fun of me. I have never had an argument with either of them. The older coworker has defamed my character many times over the years. I am miserable in this toxic environment. Suggestions?

How did you get hold of emails? Make sure that you’re not doing anything incorrect by having the data or being shown the data. Remember HR is there to protect the company not necessarily you.

Send to HR and give them a shpiel about mental health. Are you any type of minority? Bring this up and if they are white their jobs will be in jeopardy. Happy hunting!

Document everything until you can establish a pattern of behavior that is harassing and violates policy then complain about the pattern, not an individual action.

Complain to each rung on the ladder only once then move to the next rung up the ladder. Don’t be afraid to go outside the company if the harassment is pervasive and extreme, or if you are a protected individual.

Sorry to hear that. I have been in that situation. Make a copy of documents, time and date it, start documenting all situations this person causes a toxic workplace. Keep your head and keep calm. Remember your there to make money not friends. She is probably jealous of your work ethic. Prayers with you.

Send those photos to HR. Get her written up. Look her in the eye. Make her afraid of you. Also, you can leave.

Make sure you keep all of the evidence.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
