You are a soft spoken and hard working. You don't mind to help your colleague with their work if they need you. You like to share with other in everything you know. But you don't like them to do work for you. You have a colleague that think she is the best and she like to compete with you. But you are a type of person that don't like to compete with anybody because you treat them as your own family members. She is aggressive in doing her work but not smart compare with you. You are smart and efficient worker. Everything she do will heart other's feeling. Everybody like you because you are a nice person. So.. how do you face this kind of person? Will you teach her a lesson?

Oh mamagee, did you spy on me when I was working. I had a similar person as my collegue, I just cant let her spoil my work. But still she kept initiating to do my work also and at times she even submitted her work before me and I have to face the consequences as it was not match to the end result and due to over enthusiasm she have done the entire thing the other way round. So I have to explain things to our boss as to what the exact thing is and she just simply fights with me for not making the boss accepting what she have done. And she will not accept any explanation of any sort not just from me but also from the boss. She left the organisation before I did and I really came out with a good name. Thank God.

Hi..Swaana, this will happen every where especially in big organisation. We are now working apart after my promotion and I don't need to see her face anymore. I'm hoping not to be in the same office in the future. ha..ha..ha..

there are times we meet people like that in the work especially in the work place,i think the best we can do is simply to try and understand what they really want and who they are but not necessarily be in competition ,also be yourself at all times and nver let what they do influence you,when they get on your nerves try as much as you can to politely tell them

Ya, I agree with you. Sometime our attitude also can makes someone ungrateful.

Its difficult when you are working with someone like that but I would continue doing my own work and try not to let her attitude affect you. Last year there was a girl where I work who done nothing but chat, usually about other people or go out for lots of smoke breaks then used to have the cheek to tell the managers that I and others were lazy. The management knew who the real workers were and knew she was a shirker. She only got away with so long before she was moved to another section as everyone found her difficult to work with. So bide your time and the truth will out as it usually does. Ellie :D

Yes, you are right. As long as I know my responsibility and I done it, it is more than enough. Why should I disturb other peoples. Good or not and right or wrong, it is my responsibility.

Hi mamagee,i know it can be hard working with those kinds of people.I can remember having a office manager like that always getting others to do her mork but taking all the credit she would give bad evaluations to those who did'ent deserve it, and her friends would get a free ride. Well after a while all the other staff got tired of it and went straight to the bosses and complained.She was sent to another department and things are alot better. What you can do is dont let this person get to you... focus on your job and continue to be the person that you are.

I have been in the same position like you before. Luckily I'm with her for a year. With in that year, i done everything alone and what she do is chatting and playing games the whole day. In the end of the year she got the credit. It is not fair at all. Luckily I got promoted and transfered far away from her. I'm happy now with my new friends.
