Glad to be of service!
My daughter-in-law said that she felt much relieved after reading it to discover that she wasn't, in fact, becoming 'precious' or over-sensitive! She felt she was being sidelined by a colleague who suddenly wanted to know the how, what, why & where of my d-i-law's job. As this girl had only been brought in to help, d-i-law was getting a bit concerned that her boss was apparently becoming hostile towards her.
Seems that her 'helper' colleague ensured that any phone calls from MDs of their biggest clients which were actually for my d-i-law were being taken by the helper. So of course d-i-law was being kept out of the loop on important decisions and organizing stuff. By sidelining my d-i-law this colleague cleverly made it look like she was the one doing all the organizing and that my d-in-law was letting things slide! Worse, because the girl is actually not very well organized and doesn't know half of what's supposed to be done, it made my d-i-law - in the eyes of these very important clients - look inefficient. But of course, she didn't know that little miss Trixty was taking stuff on herself but when it went wrong, somehow made my d-i-law look like the one who'd messed up
As a consequence of reading that link, she has learned a few tricks on how to ensure she's one step ahead of her little helper.
In the meantime, she's looking for another job - she reckons if her bosses are so fickle that they don't recognize all the hard work she's done over the past 10 years and instead have fallen for the googly charm of her little helper who just an office psycho in disguise, well it's their own fault
