A new job has started but a rude league colleague lost – what can I do?

The star of the trainee and Vice President West Ham United, Karen Brady, answers your job questions.

Here, Karren gives advice to the reader who wants to return to an internal role after years of independent work.

Q) It has recently started a new job and it seems that everyone is really nice, except for one woman at the same administrative level like me, but in a different section.

She was very cold towards me, and she refers to talking to me at meetings and she is really surprising whenever she spoke to her.

One of the colleagues stated that this woman has applied to my role without success, so I wonder whether this is what nourishes this situation.

I am not sure what to do, because I do not want to make an enemy for her to go to human resources, but I started to come to the office.

Do you have any advice?

A) It is understood that you feel uncomfortable – mobility in tension with a colleague can be difficult, especially in a new role.

If her behavior is disappointed by not getting a job, it is likely that it is more than you are.

Look for a quiet moment to conduct a direct conversation, but it is not an interface, while recognizing any embarrassment and expressing the desire to work together professionally.

Keep her sympathy, with clear boundaries as well.

Speak through examples of how her behavior – such as not listening to your inputs, talking to you at meetings and union – makes you feel undermining and disrespect.

Also, I give examples of the interactions they made with other colleagues, as they were more respectful, to show that the way you treat is different.

Sometimes, tension can be processed by dynamic conversion.

Above all, protect your own well -being – no one should fear to come to work.

With the passage of time and professional efficiency, the situation may reduce, especially when establishing yourself in your role.
