Started a new job in sept in retail which I really enjoy. Get on with all the girls really well. Then in Monday one started to give me the silent treatment (very mature, she's 42 single no kids) it appeared it was over 2 weeks holiday I had booked as she wanted the same dates. (All Holliday I take is in kids holidays) She raised it with the a manager who told me the reason she was being off (she has made it very obvious she does want to talk to me and will go out if her way to move to another end if the shop if I go anywhere near her. Manager had a word about her attitude yesterday. However the silent treatment continued. So I asked it have a chat she said she has no problem and that I was being paranoid. She has also deleted me from Facebook but left all other colleagues on. So what would you do? I'm a 37 year old mum of 2 and really don't want this type of childish behaviour. All colleagues have noticed that she's ignoring me! Really am felling totally fed up :( best bit is she's been allowed the holiday now so I'm at a loss as to what to do/think

What a pathetic specimen!

I would just ignore her to be honest, don't make any effort with her, she probably behaves like this every time she's upset with somebody so she isn't worth your time!

Can you still take the holiday aswell?

I would ignore, ignore, then ignore some more. You have the holiday you want/need, she doesn't. She is throwing her toys out the pram. Leave her to get on with it.

I would suspect that everyone else has been the victim of her strops at some point, so will actually come down on your side, but don't even push it, and be the bigger person.

Leave it to the manager to observe and sort out as appropriate, but obviously not where FB is concerned.

Yes I've still got the holiday and all the girls are being very supportive of me. I just hate the atmosphere it's creating!

I would just ignore her. Everyone will see how silly and childish she is being.

Life is too short to worry about people like her.

chazbomb · 10/01/2014 14:39

She does throw lots of strops and even was in tears the other day cos she thinks she doesn't get asked to be involved. Nobody does we all just muck in! She also has told the manager that it's unfair that I have set hours as I have kids.

YANBU. She's being ridiculous and petty. What on earth does she hope to achieve by not talking to you?

It's great that you have the support of everyone around you. Bullying can be so isolating if no-one else knows or believes what's going on.

Yabu to say she is old when you are not much younger. Sounds like year 6 issues to me, not "mature" people.

chazbomb · 10/01/2014 16:25

I'm not saying she's old, I was being sarcastic about being very mature in giving me the silent treatment. I'd never dream if treating someone like that even if I didn't like them much as I'm old enough to know better!!

sounds like she's not worth your attention OP. be grateful she showed her true colours early on.

seriously, a 40 year old woman behaving like a 13 year old - crikey!
