Hello, I am experiencing micromanagement by a colleague in my team with 10 months more experience than me. She's very fixated on hierarchy and sees herself as above me in the pecking order and treats me accordingly. The people above her seem to love her and think she's fantastic (from my perspective) and I don't believe would have a clue that I'm experiencing issues.
I have had issues with her constantly checking up on me with messages.
- Messaging me to see if I will respond to an email relating to my projects that she has no involvement in within seconds of it coming into the inbox.
- Asking me several times if I'm going to do standard tasks that are the bread and butter of my job, even though I've already told her yes the first time.
- Dictating whether I can take time back for extra hours worked, despite her taking time back regularly (and not asking if it's OK just saying she's taking it).
- Taking over in calls I am supposed to be leading.
I finally had a chat with my line manager who escalated to a senior person in the company, due to a recent incident (don't want to be outing and get into specifics). But when the senior person questioned her on the behaviour she turned it back on me basically suggesting I lack the confidence to speak to her myself and she's always open for a chat if there is a problem, and relating to the incident, she doesn't understand my issue. I feel like I should maybe send my version of events to this senior person but I don't want to cause a fuss and be thought of as a trouble maker? Should I just keep my head down? I never feel like people will take my side.
