Dear Sann:

I wasn’t aware that she barked back when you did “bark” at her. I thought she would take the submissive role if she was barked at by you or by anyone. So “barking” at her doesn’t work, you tried and it doesn’t work. Discussing things with her, giving her your honest input and listening to her (dishonest) input doesn’t work either. Sounds like the silent approach you take is better than the barking or the discussing. Not perfect but the better of the three options mentioned here. I am glad other relationships at the workplace are win-win-

Best to You, Sann-
