So I'm one half of a two-person office. Other guy is pleasant enough, has been there a long time (which says something -- it's kind of the "starter" job for this paper and people who are any good are out of it in a couple years), I've felt the need to be wary about what I disclose to him, but I don't totally hate his guts or anything.
We have an office digital camera. Both of us can use it, but the photos can only be uploaded through his computer.
Apparently he hates my guts. I discovered this this afternoon when he left his email up and open to one from the person I replaced, who moved to the main office and to whom he is very close (and secretly in love with, though she's too dense to see it and he won't say so). As he saw me move toward his desk to upload photos, he didn't think to close his email, or move it to another one.
So, he left for the day, and I sat there and uploaded the photos I'd taken earlier this afternoon and read about all the things he hates about me. Furthermore, I read the responses from this other person, who has on the surface, anyway, tried to be very friendly and welcoming to me.
It's nothing that couldn't be solved by his SPEAKING UP, but it irks me both that he's doing this behind my back and that she's supporting him.
Two-faced people suck.
So now, armed with this knowledge -- what's my next step? Do I call him on it? Do I call HER on it? Do I stuff it and do nothing?
