My daughter's supervisor is continually calling her in to talk to her about another co-worker. This co-worker and my daughter had been at odds for a long time and now for some unknown reason the other person is being nice to my daughter and my daughter is accepting it and says that it seems difficult to both of them to deal with each other
Now my question is that the supervisor calls my daughter in and continually asks and tells her why she's being friendly with the other worker. My daughter is irritated by this and feels that the supervisor should be happy that they are finally working well together. The supervisor hates this other worker and both of us think she persecutes the other worker as often as she can and is angry about the two of them being friendly.
My daughter is afraid to do anything and just accepts it as what it is.
Anyone have advice for either of us

My feeling is that she's right. If this person has a "Vendetta" against this other worker and your daughter calls her on it but taking it up with Human Resources or to the supervisor's manager her supervisor may just have a thing against her too. It seems that this person is very smart in "calling" your daughter into wherever she is calling her into. Obviously an office or some lace quiet. If your daughter says anything it's going to be their supervisor's word against your daughter's. It's got to be aggravating to both of you but I think your daughter is correct in just dealing with it the best she can. It's gotta be difficult for you to see and hear her go though this but I think she's right. I hope everything works out for both of you. Good luck to both of you! Bye!!

Joseph Mahal has a very fine answer. I might suggest that, if your daughter feels up to it, she respond to the supervisor by saving "I offer civility and respect to everyone." That answer can be repeated regardless of the question or comment.
If your daughter does not feel up to that kind of passive "confrontation" I suggest that she start looking for another job. A supervisor who feels the need to do what this person is doing will eventually get rid of the co-worker, but still have the need to denigrate other people. Someone else will be next, so if your daughter has gone on to another job, she won't be in this supervisor's sights.
Best of luck

There is nothing that can be done about this. First off I am wondering why your daughter isnt posting this. Secondly, Your daughter should just do her job as best as she can and if the supervisor is giving her that hard of a time over the situation, either complain to the corporate office/owner of the store etc, OR quit, or continue to put up with the situation. You are not going to win with a supervisor without either goin up the ladder to their boss, or quitting.

The supervisor sounds pre-occupied with personal stuff, not very professional.
I would tell my daughter to stay out of the personal stuff and stick to the work. Don't let her set herself up to be fired for something stupid, especially for talking behind the other worker's back to her supervisor.

I Think to tell him that I love and care for all the people
I don't think that being gentle man or woman is bad.
