Hi,

I've come to realize over the past two years I am controlling. This is something I am working on and am learning to let go of things. But I still have problems when one of my coworkers tries to tell me what to do and they are not my supervisor. This coworker gets involved in everyone's job and tells them what to do. This coworker has no training or background for my job and has slowly been getting more and more involved.

It is causing me a lot of anxiety. My supervisor will not talk to her and my supervisor lets her do whatever she wants. This situation has caused a lot of frustration and anger to the point I am looking for another job.

If my coworker was my supervisor and really knew how to do my job I wouldn't not have a problem. It's like my coworker is acting like a "big shot" in front of everyone, but does not want the responsibility or liability of my job.

I'm not sure how to get past these irritable feelings and just let go. The problem is on my mind almost all the time and interrupts my sleep. I just don't like being controlled by someone who has no business getting involved in my job.

Has anyone else dealt with a bossy controlling coworker?
