here, seems to be hogging all the work. The Dr I work for rang me and asked me to book a consultation room for him and because the details I have are only limited, this colleague of mine has taken it in her own hands and has now phoned the Dr to tell him of another room she knows about and which I obviously have no idea about (as I'm new). Shall I just keep quiet? She's about 55+ and I'm aged 35.

The job is temporary and perhaps the other colleague feels that if you are only temporary what's the point of letting you do any of the work if it's only going to get passed back to her eventually.
Although, it may just be that she's been that used to coping on her own she's not used to having someone there to take some of the pressure off.
Don't take it all to heart - not all temporary positions are like this.
Try gently speaking with your colleague and saying - is there anything I can do to ease your work load? Dont make it sound like you are TAKING the work from her just HELPING her!
Bit of reverse psychology!!!!!!

Just do the best you can, the Doctor will know what's going on, have a little trust and don't let your colleague upset you whatever happens. If the worst comes to the worst you might not hold the job but you did the best you could and no blame attaches to you.

Why might you desire to try this? it is going to easily make you look like an fool and supply them much greater reason to gossip approximately you. basically be happy which you're turning out to be out of there and can circulate away mutually with your head held severe, risk-free interior the understanding that they are going to nonetheless be there of their nasty little gang at the same time as you have moved on. there is not any could initiate performing like a new child and you may on no account burn your bridges - it is totally tempting to tell human beings what you think of of them sometimes yet issues have a manner of coming returned to chunk you! stay expert, it is not lots longer!

I think you need to sort this out sooner rather than later as it will only get harder to say something. How about flattering her by asking for her advice/opinion a couple of times and then doing it yourself? You don't want to alienate her but shouldn't have to pander to her all the time either. Hope you get the balance right. I guess if you don't at least you are only there for two months but hopefully it won't come to that. Good luck.

Shes probably just trying (maybe a bit too much) to make things run smoothly and as your new feels she should handle the reigns still, its not fair to give you limited information as you are trying to do your job properly and she is restricting you, perhaps unintentionally, but its still unfair. I would start asking her to run you through all the informaion she knows which you wil need, just keep asking questions and say "listen, i would appreciate it if you could tell me everything as i really want to help" etc

hi poopsy ,
you should not keep quiet. If you want this temp. situation to become permanent you have to slightly more aggressive. you have to let your co- worker know that you mean business and that you are a fast learner. don't let her overshadow you, the Dr. hired you for a reason.
