I think I would keep a note of things YG, just to be on the safe side. Hopefully things will blow over, and this woman will start behaving reasonably soon; but if not I think you should certainly be prepared to speak to someone about it.

How awful for you to be embroiled in such party politics when you've just gone back to work. I hope you have got plenty of other supportive and balanced members of staff?!

yorkiegirl I agree with your DH, keep a diary of all of it, even though it is a hassle.You will need chapter and verse if you intend to take it firther which IMO you should.Do not let this stupid cow bully you, and inform her very calmy that you have already started a careful log of all her actions and comments with a view to consulting your union rep as soon as you need to. I hate people like this, there is one member of staff at my school who constantly insults staff, kids and gets away with it as SMT feel sorry for her and her ' problems'. I used to feel sorry too until I felt the lash of her tongue and her pathetic jibes, and I went straight to the head with my union rep, and she backed off pretty quick, I also warned her to stay away from me !!! ggggrrrrr!!! best of luck and have a large shiraz 2nitexxxx

god how awful - you poor thing. is she a teaching member of staff, i.e. do you spend much time at break / lunch in her company? If she is, then shame on her - she's acting like one of the worst behaved children would. Even if she isn't, the situation is still intolerable. Who told her that her behaviour was unacceptable? Whoever it was, I would go back to this person and just fill them in on the attitude she has displayed towards you even after being told not to. Her behaviour is very unprofessional, whatever her role in school and she needs to be taken to task by her line manager.

All the best - how horrid that you should have to endure this when you're doing something so positive for the school (repeat this to the person you speak to as well!)

Roll on Dec 17th, eh?

ooo the best way to counteract flouncing is to infuriate them! Next time you see her smile really broadly and benevolently as if you haven't a care in the world. i can guarantee it will rattle her as she'll wonder what it is you've got to smile about! make sure you also seem really happy and natural everytime she sees you with anyone - DON'T let her see you're bothered by it.
Yes, it's childish but so is she and you really do need to focus on the million and one other things that a typical school day brings you. It will also help if she does continue with this nastiness, and you do have to take it further, as you will have behaved impeccably.

my girls where at a school where a few mums worked,and amazingly enough there kids got all good parts,won all compatitions,especially when it came to making things as they got to use school stocks after hours,a lot of the children just stopped trying as it was so blatantly obvious that these kids where the only ones to get a look in

I agree with moomin yg about the smiling and being ultra super smiley happy pleased to see her. This will make her pigsick

Yorkiegirl · 05/12/2004 17:47

Just thought I'd post on here again.
I have been super smiley at work, doing extra hours to help out with sickness etc and generally being a model member of staff. Even managed to get my targets and assessment questionnaire in on time this week! She is still being unpleasant but I've decided she's only upsetting me, no-one else, so I might as well get over it. She's the one in the wrong after all. Why should she stop me from enjoying the last couple of weeks of term? She's not going on the staff night out, which is good from my POV!
