Help me handle this at work

I have a colleague at work who literally undermines everything I say to the point where she will literally say black is white.

If I am talking to someone and advising them she will interrupt and say something different.

If I’m speaking to a colleague about something she will interrupt and ask them a question.

It’s like she will do anything to turn anyone’s attention to me back to her.

Effectively she is my line manager I’ve been trying to change my job so we are almost on a par but won’t be as I’ll be reporting to someone else but still lower on the org chart than her if you get my drift.

She keeps putting a spanner in the works. She has said she is trying to help and wants to see me in this new position but keeps pushing the changeover.

I don’t actually know how to handle it and it sounds mad but I feel like I’m being gas lighted. She also hands over the HR so who else do I go too?

I think it’s got to the point I need to find another job, which is a shame because I like my job and where it is and the salary is good!

Is there someone discrete, higher up the org chart who you could ask for a private chat and some advice?

So long as you approach it in a constructive and positive manner - which from your post it sounds like you will - they probably will be glad to get the opportunity to solve the problem rather than see you go.

Especially true if your company has been hit by the "great resign" - mine has, and hiring backfill is a hassle.
