I work in an office in a small team. Recently a woman moved in from another Department replacing someone who was much liked. The problem is this woman completely blanks me, in that doesn't utter a single word to me. If she was shy this wouldn't be a problem but with a lot of the others she is all chatty chatty but all in hushed tones so you can't hear what is being said. I get zilch, zero, nothing.
I just feel that there is tension between us but I don't know why. I work hard and think that people like and respect me. It is ok when everyone is there it doesn't feel so obvious but there are a few times when we have been on our own and I can definitely feel tension and if I feel it surely it most be noticeable to others too. We had a good team before and everyone worked well together, now I am feeling uncomfortable at work. I would expect that sort of behaviour from one of my children but not a grown woman.
She doesn't say hello in the morning, interact with me at all and twice when we have been on our own has just got up and left in the evening without saying a word. So what do I do? I am not confrontational at all. Do I just go on like it is now? Others seem to like her and can't see what I am seeing. Or should I say something to management. It just feels a lot like school, telling tales and saying X doesn't like me but would they do, you cant make someone like someone else.
I just feel like I have enough going on in my life and a difficult work colleague is something that I don't need. What should I do?
