I just started working in a smal bussiness. MY friend is the director and i am just the other worker there. THe owner of this facility hired these marketing people to help us with advertising.The marketing lady(lets say Judy) Does not like me. She is very short and rude with me and always treats me like a little girl. She is wealthy and snobby. I told her an idea the other day and she told me that i really have to thnk about things i do seriously(meaning it wasnt a good idea) but the my friend the director ran the idea by her again she said it was a good idea. Since this marketing lady has worked for us she has not made us any more money, we have not been getting more calls. She keeps on advertising everything into ritzy towns....and they dont want what we have. She has a mutual friendship with the owner of the bussiness. I dont know what to do? I may want to quit because i feel like i cant get any furth with her involved in the bussiness, she treats me like im "the secretary"

Its hard for "old" employees to accept the new ones because the new ones dont really know the ropes yet...so until you do know the ropes, take a chill pill and act like you are interested in "learning" from her...if she sucks like you say, she will dig her own hole.

Ok, valuable advice here- NEVER, EVER, EEEVER let ANYONE make you feel anything less than absolutely FABULOUS. Clearly SHE has a problem with YOU (she's probably jealous of a load of varied stuff about you -you're young and fresh and pretty, to start with, perhaps? Maybe she's interested in your friend and therefore jealous? Who KNOWS with these biddies?!!!) why on earth should YOU quit and make her life easier? You STICK IT Girl!!! Let HER suffer as everyone gets to know and like you more and more and she keeps getting older and more bitter!!! YOU come FIRST. Always remember that!
And Good luck, babes!

She's probably grouchy with everyone.
Plus she probably really doesn't like you, seeing you as a threat. Bringing in someone younger is always scary to someone older who has already put in so much time.
Try asking her for advice?
Try steering clear of her.
Try finding common ground, talking about things SHE cares about.
If nothing works, then work there as if she didn't exist. Work with her like she is invisible.
