Medium-chill is like treating her like a young child who just says things that you aren't going to engage with. So no matter what she throws at you, you just don't engage her, you just let it go.
The other thing you can do is talk to a manager or someone higher up. You have to be careful when you do this though so that YOU don't get labeled the troublemaker, since she has seniority.
Good luck,

I just read my old posts... agree that there are bound to be bad apples in the workplace. eventually, i tried to use the medium chill approach with her, she was still pissed that it failed to get the response that she wanted and she continued to initiate fights with me. I spoke to the nurse manager, but it didnt help actually. eventually i left the organization. i just wonder... what methods i could have used against such people? i can't always resign from every job when i meet such people.
