I have just changed my job temporarily for 3 months or so. It is called a work development post where I do a different job for 3 months to gain experience in a different part of the company.
I am in a new environment and my old boss put me forward for this.
The people I am now working with (technically I am their boss for three months but am usually a grade below some of them) are frosty and unwelcoming towards me.
Today was my first day on my own and one particular women is short and sharp with me and I am convinced she was checking my work whilst I was on a break.
It is sometimes a petty environment but as today was my first day I felt sick with nerves as still a little unsure what I am doing. I was not prepared to ask her for help as she has made it obvious she does not want to talk to me unless she has too.
Not sure how to handle it as have been told by many that she is hard work and I am not the best at confrontation. Please help dreading going into work tomorrow but should be enjoying this opportunity.
