Don't know if anyone remembers my issues with my suitemate from he** at work, but I've been doing some research on passive agressive behavior (thanks to wunder god Larry Hoover), and those descriptions pretty much nail her behavior.
Anyone have any tips on deflating her annoying behavior? Some websites give some information, but not much....just wondering if anyone has personal experience.
I don't want to put her down or anything. I just want the behavior to stop.
Thanks!
Susan

I have had dealings with p/a people in the past. One of them I was was quite close to at one time, but I bluntly called him on it whenever it happened. As for a co-worker, I usually just ignored it, sometimes blantantly brushing off really unfavorable comments (but only when it got really bad). When it comes to working with someone like that, it can be very tough to be PC and yet not let the person get the best of those around them. As I have seen your posts before I know you are very intelligent and thoughtful and will probably handle the co-worker a lot better than I would.

Hi!
>As for a co-worker, I usually just ignored it, sometimes blantantly brushing off really unfavorable comments (but only when it got really bad).
<<Hmmm. I really reamed her once a few weeks ago, and she left me alone...but it's come back with a vengeance and I ignored her all yesterday. And the more I ignored her, the more she tried to needle me. I know I need to be consistent, but I'm just not sure which way's better. I'd rather ignore. Don't personally like confrontation too much...>>As I have seen your posts before I know you are very intelligent and thoughtful and will probably handle the co-worker a lot better than I would.
<<Thank you. I appreciate it. But this really is a weak part of my character....maybe that's why she likes picking on me so much. :-)Thanks again,
Susan
