Yep exactly. It is definitely tougher. I still treater her like she is a superior because even though she may not say anything, she could still report any kind of behavior to HR. Some of my coworkers don’t seem to realize that. They seem to think they know it all and are truly superior. In fact, if anyone is condescending to me in a bossy like way, it is always from a coworker. Not from my supervisor.
