Hi everyone! Ugh. I have a migraine. I'm exhausted. And I have a problem at work. The problem is with another employee who happens to be married to the General Manager. So yeah, I can't go to him about it because he's not going to be unbiased. I would go directly to the other employee, that would be my preference, but my dealings with her in the past have led to major passive/aggressive behavior on her end towards me when I tried to talk to her about what I needed from her in order to do my job effectively. Which wasn't by the way, different than what I needed from any other employee. But she threw a fit and the big boss at the time (this was before the business sold) decided she didn't have to do what everyone else had to do and she made my life a living hell! So I debated about how to approach it, or even if to approach it and face the wrath that was sure to come my way. I talked to my parents about it last night, and my former boss. Then today I talked to the one person in the organization that I absolutely trust to not talk to anyone else about it, and get his opinion on how to handle it. I still didn't know, so I skyped one of the owners and asked when she was coming to CA again. She said she didn't know. She was like, do you need me? I was like of course! I always need you! But I told her a little bit about the problem without mentioning names or specifics. So she asked to call me and I agreed. I just shut my office door for privacy. So she came up with three or four different ways it could be handled and she wants to think about it some more before she decides what is the best way to go. She told me not to worry. (Ha!) I just want it to be the end of the day, so it could be the weekend. So I don't have to think about this tomorrow. I'm sure I'll think about it on Sunday because it's back to work on Monday. Ugh I feel like crap. And it's such a little issue but it's an example of a larger systemic issue that we have at our organization, which is now complicated by the fact that this person is married to the General Manager. I just want to roll up in the corner and disappear. HUGS Kit
