N/c for this as regular poster. Apologies for length!
Background: Love my job, been there a number of years, line manage one person (in her 20's). Just the 2 of us in our department and office.
She is a fairly negative sort of person, I am generally very positive. She is very good at what she does, as am I. Our skills complement each other's really well.
However, recently her negativity has become downright rudeness.
We had a meeting to discuss these issues and I asked if everything was ok, she said it was but she had a lot of work to do. I then removed a chunk of it, and her behaviour was addressed. However, it has not improved.
I cannot believe she thinks it's appropriate to speak to anyone like she does (I get the worst of it as I'm sat closest to her). My manager says she's young and we need to guide her in how to behave. I am at the point of feeling like I am dealing with a sulky teenager (she isn't but she acts like one).
God, it sounds so ridiculous written down.
Any advice?
