I suggest you keep a log of any future problems with this man and I hope your job doesn't depend on communicating with him - if it does, keep convo's to a minimum and if you feel he's trying to get under your skin - report him to HR. I think it's fine to be assertive - but if you're questioning yourself, you can pause before you react - take some deep breaths and then re-think your response. I hope this gets better for you.  |
Thanks lynn P,
Yes, I do keep a log, and we are supposed to meet sometime in the near future with HR (both of us and my supervisor) And while we are in the same office, his position is slightly higher than mine. And also, as the administrative assistant, I am required to provide support to all the staff, so as to communication, it has to be a positive working situation, but at the same time, I keep any other conversation to a minimum, which makes a weird working environment. I know that I should have taken some breaths, but at this particular time, it was a knee jerk reaction.
