Toxic jobshare

Hi, I have job shared with someone for 3 difficult years. She works fulltime with the other half of her hours in another department. She is controlling and wants to be always in the driving seat to my detriment (she wants the post fulltime). Last week I couldn't cope anymore with her and told my boss I was taking time off because of it. My boss promptly went to my colleague and spoke to her about it. A week on she hasn't spoken to me, only emailed saying she expects me back in 2 weeks. Hasn't asked if I'm ok (I'm not). I don't know what to think. Am very upset at my career seemingly going up in smoke. I'm good at my job and feel I'm being forced out. Anyone any advice? Thanks :-)

What your manager did was very bad form. Do you have a HR department?

The manager surely had to speak to the other employee. I don’t understand why that is bad form. 🧐

OP, it is hard to comment because you haven’t really explained what is happening. Do you have any concrete examples?

I think looking for a new job has to be one of the options to consider.

Generally with a complaint the manager should speak first to the person making the complaint. We have an HR dept, I guess that's my only option. I've been trying to get another job for past year or so but not much available sadly.
