One fellow coworker always gives a side eye when I don’t communicate with them and they have always been downright rude and gossipy over anything I’ve done or not done. How do I handle that?

I have a coworker that is the same way. I remove myself from people and such behavior. If it’s important I’ll communicate if it pertains to my job, but I’m very careful what I say bc I can’t trust some people on my team, gossiping whether I do something right or wrong. I’m dammed if I do and dammed if I don’t so I just do what I was hired to do and mind my own business.

I agree.

Some teachers are so rooted and tight with each other, politics drives them to push outsiders away. I see it everyday! If you’re new and you don’t immediately jump on the gossip wagon, you become the victim. I understand why this person is reluctant to talk to them.

I’ll bite. Why aren’t you communicating with them? Is it vital to your job? Do you team teach with them? Do you need to make adjustments in your behavior? I’d make sure that it’s not a real problem on your end first. Then I’d have a conversation with them one on one. If the behavior doesn’t change, talk to your administrator about it.

Well it doesn’t necessarily pertain to team teaching but I should give myself an evaluation first probably.

You don’t have to be perfect, but just make sure that you’re holding up your professional end of the bargain first. You might really be the problem. Good luck. I’ve dealt with this before and I had to accept responsibility for my part of the problem and work to fix it.

I've been through something similar.

I finally lost my temper with it, and called the other teacher out. Turned out her problem was based on someone else's nonsense, and a misunderstanding.

Talk to them.

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel. SP mentally checked out, to the point that co-counsel was asking what SP was doing/if SP was okay. I ended up handling most everything. SP did a few parts but went rogue and did things that were offensive/risky/bad for client. It became clear that SP is not performing like SP used to and may be a liability. Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?

Stereotyping?
Racism?

The first time I ignored that, but now it has become a pattern and is bothering me now. I am south-American working in the UK.
