I returned to work after taking Maternity leave and have been flexible and helped out on another section as and when they needed helping out. I have now had a semi permament move to that section and am happy enough with the move although it I am a little rusty and sometimes needs refreshing on the technical issues. However overall I am one of the most experienced and respected members of staff and also get on with most people across all the different sections.
However certain people have taken to making snide and rude comments to me and belittling me. There is a trio of women who sit behind me and they make little comments all day long about whatever I happen to say. What annoys me is one of these people is really bad at her job and has always been carried by other members. Shes has issues with me and has always been allowed to get away with nasty comments as management percieve us to have "history" as i had difficulty with her general attuide whilst I was her Mentor. She is also techincally unable to do her job without constant help. I have had enough of the way she is talking to me and the deputy is one of the trio.
The other big problem is the other Team leader who I do not report to has been making comments and generally on my back all the time. Suggestions from me are ignored when ideas are sought. In meetings she talks over or down to me. If I need to ask questions of one of her team she asked what I want...in a rude unhelpful way.
What do I do? I have ignored it for too long now and have no faith in management. This team leader has already been moved twice...and bullying was the reason on the (pretty reliable) grapevine.
I now feel like taking her to one side tomorrow and asking if she has any problems with me and if now could she please start talking to me better. Even her team are appalled by what she is doing to me....some colleagues have witnessed it and asked why i am tolerating it.
Sorry for the long post but I am just at the end of my tether...and short of getting signed off (which wont solve anything longterm) I dont know what to do!
