colleague being nasty

[HelloBoys]

I've just found out the other day (again) that my colleague (fellow PA) has been lambasting me to my boss (again) about various things like performance, timekeeping etc.

I have been late once or twice recently (trains) but have always made up time and have got in on time recently every day if not earlier.

My performance is always fine if not better than hers.

She has also been making personal remarks about me apparently bitchy ones.

I reported her for bullying last year long story but eventually got a unfair warning myself (different story).

I don't know if my boss will take this further and I want to leave anyway.

what can I do meantime? Ignore?

A colleague has told me he overheard it all (thin walls) and he is in the habit of stirring anyway.

What's the boss like? Has she a reputation for being sneaky?

The boss is ok. A bit sneaky. The PA - yes sneaky and 2 faced. oh and lies. she has told me gossip re my boss that I would not want him to hear.

I should in theory be safe as I've worked there almost 4 years now, am cheap.

There's always one, isn't there? The best thing is that if she is making personal comments she is reall just showing herself up to be unprofessional and a bit barking really.

Not much help, and I know its a horrible situation, but try to find it 'amusing'. So if someone recounts to you what she has said (usually to upset you, or to see your reaction - they are not your 'friend' either btw) cock your head, look amused and slightly baffled and don't rise to it "oh really? Did she? I wonder why she felt the need to comment on my timekeeping? Have you brought your lunch in with you today...?". Bide your time - karma will bite her snidey backside!

Nicename But she is my boss' best pal for past 18 years.

In his previous big company (where she worked as PA) the other senior partner (there were 2 seniors) had a PA (Irish not that makes a difference) and they got so embroiled in her life telling her what to do, lambasting her when she didn't complete her paralegal training, encouraging her in a relationship with fellow sol at firm etc... then bitching the hell out of her that when she finally left, fled she went to Ireland and hasn't been heard from since despite them prying and prodding!

I don't even speak to her much now apart from work stuff, no hellos as she decided not to do that the other week. Blanked her when I saw her in the street (she blanked me too).

Oooh that's a pain! He's probably scared of her! When he goes, she will too, either way. I really hated the PAs who thought that it was really them who ran the business - far too full of their own self importance!

I'd be looking for another job to be honest. I really hate atmospheres. We had a bit of this at my last place - the head receptionist and office manager seemed to take turns in hating people for no reason (I was singled out because I pinned my hair up - yup that was my 'crime'). When I left the office manager, who was bezzies with the owners wife was moved to another office with another colleague and made her life awful with the constant freezing out, catty comments, stahge whispers over the phone about 'you know who'. I am so well out of that place. It was like kindergarden.
