How Do You Tackle A Female Colleague At Work Who's Trying To Control You? by Troubledmind: 5:17pm On Apr 27, 2018
This colleague of mine is not my boss, we're on same level, but since she reports directly to my boss? She's always concocting stories in her favor which is putting me in the line of fire, she has gradually given herself the title mouthpiece of the boss, I'm enjoying the job but she makes sure I'm always frustrated and thinking of quitting because of her, i don't want to report her, who knows, my boss might take her side and I'd be doomed

They're probably fucking too...

Your boss would rather get rid of you than his current lunchtime special.

it's just that there's no avoiding her, she makes sure my life is a living hell on as daily basis, as if I'm a threat to her, and it intensified when i started getting accolades due to my dedication

Just don't mind her and do your job if you can.
Some female behave if you ignore them when they want attention from you or want to get in intimate relationship with you or something like that.
Maybe she is just like that, some people body dey too hot them.

Stop fighting her perceived superiority over you, it's pointless and you would loose. You need people like her on your side as an ally (like you rightly said she's your Boss's eyes and ears) so get her close, once in a while engage her in small talk, hangout for drinks on off days and stuffs like that - just play it cool and act like you "get". This way you're giving up control but you dictate the relationship dynamics and hey you get to rid yourself of all that bad energy.

It's all just petty office politics - let go of that ego.

It's everywhere..

Reduce your familiarity with her and if possible snub her.
Don't give her face atal and also try to approach your boss from time to time for instructions.

Don't run cos of someone and end up jobless. It's time to stop being nice and timid.

Wow!
Please calm down, I didn't know you were the girl in question... Please forgive and forget.

Seriously, why are you so upset?
I never said all girls, i said "some" and i never put a stamp on it. and some men are like that too.
Did you also read the part where i said "maybe she is just like that"? as in is just her character.

A piece of work and Shallow thought all for me.

Why does the gender of this colleague matter? Is that the reason for your discomfort? If it was a male colleague would you feel differently?

I would have said my thought but found out these: a) ur moniker is something else. b) u are likely a mod on nairaland or related to any of those mods. c) u complain a lot. Sorry to say that you've a problem within you, but first learn how to get rid of them. You feel inferior alot, stand up & be a man. I will stop here for now.

Your boss might be involved with her.

In my Opinion, I think you should play the 'mugu' and let her feel comfortable with you( to throw scent of you at least). Look for a way to alert your boss' wife anonymously. That a girl is prolly servicing her husband at the office.

Housewives no dey take ear hear that kind thing. The wife will do the remaining job and everybody go dey alright!

Calm down, try and be friendly with her. Then gradually get her to fall in love, BOOM! You are in control .

Thank me later.

N. B. I'm guessing you are a male...

If You are a female, look for an elderly person or a boss. If possible the same boss he's doing eye service for, call her right in front of the boss and subtly ask that she tells you anything you do that's making her behave that way. Then ask that boss to mediate. With that you'll deflate her ego.

My opinion.

It's too late. Women have been given power because men misused their power. In the old days women used to be paid ½ of men's salary. Because men were expected to take care of the family and women stay at home.
But it is men who have messed up the economy, and devalued money. Women now had the mouth to ask for equal pay. Now women are even bosses over men.
Men misused the natural power and authority given to them by God.

invite her over, lace her drink with strong sleeping pills, give her the fvck of her life.

if you have tiny joystick, use a pestle, but either ways, make sure her nunu gets very wide that no man can ever enjoy it in future.

with that, she will have nothing to offer.
