work there altogether. Is this just the tip of the iceberg of what's to come at this job? I got a 3 paragraph nasty email from a Sr. analyst who I work with. It somehow got passed along to our boss who called us both in her office & more or less reprimanded the Sr. person who saw she did nothing wrong. Everyone else I work with is really great & have heard she likes to intimidate people by cutting them down. I don't want to be miserable because of one unprofessional individual at an otherwise potentially great new job. There always has to be one in every crowd!

Weigh what that person can do to you professionally, though. What I mean is will this individual poison the well which may ultimately lead to you being dismissed or stuck in a rut. Only you can determine this, but don't get caught unaware - or without possible employment opportunities elsewhere - if this one situation may lead to real problems in the future.

You're right there is always at least one in every crowd. Since you like your job & your other co-workers, I wouldn't let one lame co-worker stand in your way of happiness. Just remember the only reason a co-worker would treat you that way (especially when you haven't done anything wrong) is because they're unhappy with their own life/situation. Since you've heard from everyone else you work with that she likes to intimigate people and cut them down, you have allies. Try to make her think it just rolls right off you, soon she'll get bored and move on to an easier target.

She was reprimanded and hopefully that will tell her to back off. Just watch her carefully, be pleasant, don't talk about her behind her back but if she get out of hand immediately go to your boss. Take any emails that she sends that are out of line, with you. The more she gets away with the more she will try to intimidate. Hopefully, your case is closed. If you like this job, stick with it. If co-workers are supportive of one another and your boss backs you, stay and enjoy.

Lot of good answers here. I agree with notyou31...document anything else she says or does to you...time, date, description of incident. Take it to your boss and if that doesn't stop it, you might have a case for harassment according to the law, especially if you keep everything documented.

The thing is....you said it yourself "there's always one" and if this job is important to you, I'd stick it out. If you don't, then this person wins. Make sense? Besides, good jobs are hard to find and even when you do find another, again "there's always one."

She was reprimanded so it unlikely that she will bother you again. Document all incidents and get witnesses if it happens again.

Don't sulk if if it aint your fault. Everything seems to be normal, I guess. You're just being overly sensitive. It's a job. work hard for it.
