hi there
I have a job where I share an office with one other person. This person is new to me (he's a bloke I am a woman) we have worked together for about a month.
We are from totally different cultures (and native language), but we've had a good chat, I think we work together well.
This week, a female colleague who works on our floor has started coming into our office to talk to this new colleague and I've had to literally ask her to move, when I need to log on the computer. It is very awkward
This sounds really weird, she is apparently showing him how to "do origami". When I arrive for work she sits in my chair at my desk and won't budge!
Normally I turn up at around 9am (I am on flexitime), he starts work around 8am. Recently, I've not been sleeping so well so I've been coming into work betweeb 7.30am and 8.30am so I guess I might be encrounching on her time slot!
I have a very good working relationship with this male colleague. She is becoming increasingly hostile towards me
I have no idea what to do - this woman pitches up in our shared office during the working day, saying she wants to "do origami" with my colleague and pfaffs about with paper-- this is clearly not work and she doesn't seem to care that we've got a busy workload
I've worked in a variety of workplaces in a number of circumstances never have experienced something so bizarre. I come from the private sector and this is in the public sector but it appears to be totally disfunctional
WWYD?
