[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 741666, member: 5938"] In the specific instance you relate, yes, the sup was right to keep you from attacking. Your sup knows there are problems between the two of you and that's the last thing he needs. Right now is the time for you be stronger and better than your co-worker. Keep yourself above his/her crap. Don't let yourself get dragged into her nightmare. Do your job the very best you can, make sure to be polite to this person (yep, it's hard) when you must be near her. Don't need to like her or chit-chat, just do your job and try your best to communicate in order to get the work done. Things like this will pop up when you least expect them. In the situation you mentioned, it would have been better to mention to your sup that you had asked for the paperwork and she hadn't given it over. It can be done in private and without anger. If your sup had allowed you to get angry and foul mouthed the coworker would have an excuse to blow this out of proportion. UPS doesn't much tolerate employees going at each other. Doesn't always matter who is originally right or wrong. It's how you are able to conduct yourself in order to stay off the radar. If your coworker wants to be an a$%, let her. As long as you maintain control, the finger will always point right back at her. Let her have all the rope and maybe she'll eventually hang herself. I've been in a situation where this type of behavior escalated into a nightmare. Things were not fair, nor were they sane. My coworker, for some reason, has had her butt kissed for at least two years in our building. She's a PIA who shows up if and when she wants, talks on her cell phone, pulls goodies out of her feed sack to eat and just sucks. All of my griping got me in the office and told I would be terminated if they heard one more word out of me. Killed me but I kept quiet and watched.

You can do it too. :happy2: This was a long post but I do want you to realize how dangerous petty situations and people can get.
