“Stop tweaking her and start documenting your interactions with her in a small notebook.
You will need it when she files a formal complaint against you for creating a “hostile” work environment.”
Indeed, I would make a point of never being alone with her in the same room, do not discount the possibility of her making up something totally false out of “whole cloth” to get you fired.
In particular do not make any remarks in the workplace to her or any one else having anything to do with race, ethnicity,Islam women’s rights, sexual orientation or gun ownership. Assume you have a target on your back.
(I speak from experience)
Good advice.
Also - do not discuss her and/or anything related to the conflict with any other colleague.
In a group - make one apology for any misunderstanding and never speak to her again on anything but ‘work-related’ issues. No small talk, no personal talk about ANYTHING!!!
Dittos that. I speak from painful experience. You will find yourself in the HR department defending yourself against a title 9 complaint or some such other thing she could pull out of her rear. Be careful-I had a coworker that decided she “didn’t like me” too. She started documenting “perceived” statements, innuendos, comments, etc. The HR official had 4 legal sized pages, front and back of things this chick had documented about me. In the end, after a 6-8 month “investigation” the charges were found to be “unfounded”. It is an experience I will not soon forget.
