Hi Free Moon,

Me and my colleague complained for ages about her, but nothing was done. I wrote a massive complaint to HR but left out names. My colleagues knew I was doing this. A lot of my colleagues were complaining to me about her etc. HR said that because her behaviour is so passive, it’s not sure if it counts as bullying but I have to have a meeting with her etc. etc…..The other managers just accept that she is very stuck up and snobby and don’t see it as bullying. It’s a hard one, she’s just a very judgey, stuck up person.

I am currently in a transition period – I’m moving out of my house end of March and hopfully leaving my current job around the same time. I need a fresh start and people on my wavelength, it feels very freeing to feel relaxed around people – so always go for people you feel relaxed around as thats how you’ll be happiest.

Haha, I love the fact her name is Barbzzzzz. Barbz the babe xD Is there any way to make a joke of it and make her laugh about her own behaviour? Sometimes that’s a good way to make people realise how they’re being!! With my Senior – I think she’s going through a lot at home, and so her mood depends on what’s going on in her life. When I go back, I’m going to try to not take it personally, and to set firm boundaries about how I’m spoke to etc.
