I’m temping and had some issues with a colleague where I found her unapproachable. I have known this woman for many years. I told the agency who told the manager. The manager spoke to me, then he spoke to her and she spoke to me saying she was really upset that I felt she was unapproachable. How can you tell someone about their behaviour when they can be snappy.
She apologised for changing her mind on things she had shown me in training and then questioning why I had done it the way she said. She said she can’t promise she won’t be snappy again, she said it’s not me but her personal issues and that she can’t always be nice. She said if these issues arise again to tell her or email her.
I just don’t get why she thinks it’s ok to be snappy. I have had some difficult things happen in my personal life but I don’t take it out on colleagues. I only have 2 months left as it’s a temp assignment. If she behaves in a bad way again what’s the best way to tell her.
