I’ve been struggling for months with a coworker who’s made my work life incredibly difficult, and today I finally made a formal complaint. She’s belittling, patronising, and constantly talks down to me and others as if we're stupid. She often makes sarcastic comments when I ask work-related questions and seems to take pleasure in making me feel small. This is the second complaint made against her this year. My previous colleague left because of it and we were previously warned when starting the job that she is difficult to work with.
On top of that, she’s passive-aggressive, does a nasty sarcastic smile whilst saying something not particularly nice. To make things worse, she’s made personal, patronising remarks about my appearance.
Has anyone ever had an experience like this? I'm now regretting my actions as I feel my job could be put on the line as I've opened a can of worms. Management has protected her for years and made excuses for her but I've had enough.
