I've recently started a new role 3 weeks after someone else, we are both part of the same team and my understanding was that due to my age and experience I was there as the senior member of that team.
However, I am becoming increasingly aware that her 3 week head start on me has given her the impression that she is in charge of me.
I have been working longer than she has been alive but she is forever pointing out that she 'trained' me and how despite her age she has 'tons' of experience .
This is her 3rd job since leaving school and she is extremely capable, bright and hardworking, I am trying very hard not to patronise her or take anything away from her but the constant digs are beginning to grate.
We have to work together so I'm keen not to alienate her but how do I handle this going forward?
