so here it goes, in our office though i have not experienced this specific person, she is, well very known to be like this person who seems to have vowed too make the lives of her co workers miserable. i was working with a group of people and she was their team mates. they just told me that they like our work and everyone in the company except this person who always try to destroy them to their boss. like she always tells their boss that they came in late, that they were out too long for lunch, etc when in fact... or the truth is that they were off to a meeting, etc. as they were telling me this and has advised me to be careful in case i am to work with this person. i was speechless and i did not know what to say or comment. i just told them to just not her because she might just be insecure and that she probably feels she needs to do this for herself so we can just all not worry about her... if you experience this kind of person who would bug you and try to annoy you all the time, how should you react, or would you choose to just shrug it off and totally ignore her?

Hi! There are lots of people like that in our office! And it really sucks! Because they do it to get the favor of the boss. And the boss lets them do it because she's the kind of boss who manipulates her employees with every kind of information and gossip she can get. She's unprofessional and many people really don't like her. Including me. I curse her and her minions. They are a bunch of unjust people who doesn't care about who get hurt from what they are doing. It's hard to ignore this kind of people because they are bound to destroy you. You do nothing and you lose without lifting a finger. But powerless people can't do anything about them. I'm actually thinking of filing a complaint against them. Because what they are doing is really out of their boundaries.

As long as that person does not affect me, I will not mind him. He is just being insecure and lacks attention. The more you give him chance to affect you, he will continue bothering you, so better not to mind him. I don't think the boss will give him time or mind him if most of the other employees know that he is just being slanderous.

see kids learn many things or some people watch and learn with lots of patience and are humble to learn somehting.This is okay.But the other one which is like always peeping into the bedroom which is not a good thing.It really annoys a lot and makes anyone angry.To handle such persons is tough.The only thing can be done is do what she does.let her knwo the problem .once she would notice the problem that someone is at the back of her bothering she will not do that to others.

As the case maybe, this person is indeed not a team player. It is unfortunate that some people are out to discredit us just to get ahead. It is a sad fact that these kinds of people are ever present in any company. Personally, I just watch my back against these kinds of people.

i'm experiencing it right now my boss always monitor what i'm doing and all she sees is me. i really hate that she always look at me and when there is something wrong i've done when in fact its not so serious she makes it very complicated.And most of my co-workers they dont like her as our boss she's very strict that sometimes its really not right.And the only thing i need to do is just to ignore her. Maybe in your situation you just have to be careful especially in your work and just ignore that person and if that person did something wrong regarding to your work maybe you just confront him/her or tell it to your higher boss as long as you don't do anything wrong well you just should protect your career.

I would try my best to not allowing what someone else watches to bother me. if they want to watch what i do, that is fine. If they don;t, then that is fine too. I won't let it worry or bother me as long as i am happy in what i am doing.

Hi chiyo! I never had an experience about it before and let say if this thing happen to me- I hope not, I will not take part bothering this kind of person. I will totally ignore her. I am not afraid if she ever tried to talk bad about me in front of the others as I will explain the truth later~ She can watch everything I do but please don't be such a bad reporter~ Yeah maybe she feel insecure but that is not a good thing to do to the others~

Friend I know this the main problem in the office or whenever we are working in under some seniors. So in our community boys not like jobs they like start their own business and this is the main reason in our community that is maheshwari 90% people running their own business. They dont want to bother this someone is watching everytime and tell something. They wants freedom and use their own mind to increase their business and really they earn more than the job. But if I face this problem any time then I will ignore otherwise asks that person whats the problem with me why you are pressurize me every time and do the complaint near boss tell me dont go again and again near boss they are not free only for us.

I have a bit experience with this case. My case is still at University and not working. When working, i think this case sure more serius. At that time, i totally ignore him. Take he as invisible. However still worry he suddenly attack me, so i just obey any thing. Not give he have chance to complain me. This kind people,later sure hv many people not like him. Hence, he sure cant get good life.
