And that's the thanks I got
Somone at my old job was bullying me for months & generally treating me & talking to me like rubbish. I always stood up for myself, but she still would not stop. She was senior to me, & seemed to think she had a right to monitor me, nit pick, act condescendingly, rudely & patronisingly. We would show me up & embarrasss me in front of others.

I then went to my manager & HR, etc. who just made me tell her in front of them how she was making me feel.

Shortly after this, unfortunately, a good friend of hers died abroad. Everyone was shocked. I tried to call her a few days later, offering my support etc. as it struck a humane bone in my body & I felt sorry for her & compassionate too. I wanted to tell her I was glad we'd let bygones be bygones & offered to help her wioth her work when she returned as she was overloaded (as was I before then)

When she returned to work a week later, she quizzed me on why I called her & just said. "Oh, right.", not any word of thanks when I offered her help.

Then I had a week off as hols. & despite me going through the week ahead's work very carefully with her, emailing my work over & printing it off, she managed to totally cock it up.

Then she denied it all, lied to the managers & carried on being a bully to me again!

In the end I got a new job & left. She had no manners, people management skills, or professionalism about her. Just relieved I got out of there!
