I finally said something to our supervisor. He told me that everyone in the office had come to him individually to talk about the negativity. The person in question was spoken to about her attitude. Instead of taking what she was told and acting on it, she decided that everyone was out to get her. For my part, I've decided to separate myself from her negativity as much as I can. For my intern, I told her to use it as a learning experience because she is likely to run into the same shyte elsewhere. I suggested she be polite and professional with the person, but have as little interaction with her as necessary.
How did it go at work today?

I gave an update at the end of this thread so you will see I had a great day. I am sorry about your situation. That is usually how it goes in the workplace. I guess in my workplace the management is pretty proactive. Maybe that's why most all the employee are so happy and positive. Maybe this company has their back. In this environment I will always speak up. I think in your case you did the right thing but someone should be following up with that person. If I were you I'd do exactly as you have done...just keep my distance. The poor intern!
