She is not married.

You are so right about a bumpy ride. Last week while I was facilitating training, Connie kept opening The Book and leaning over to my boss and another trainer. Her expression was one of disapproval. I was not training from The Book.

I was furious ... I allowed her to get to me Later in the week she revealed to someone that she wants to work with our organization and do what I am doing. Word got back to me that Connie was after my job. I don't mind that - there's room at the table - but what got my ire was her desire to shine at my expense. Why are people like that? </div></div>

well at least you know what her objective is and you can view everything through that prism

Because she does not want room at the table, she wants your chair. Bad mine an kovichus like...

Was the boss and other trainer female? At an opportune time point out to each of them that same knife stick hog, stick goat...

(translation, same way she would undermine you to get your job, she would undermine them to get a better position once she succeeded in getting into your role)

I think you are so right.

I am working in North Carolina this week and Connie is here today for one workshop. She has been very very very attentive to me . Before my workshop, she offered at least five times to help with setting things up, &quot;Peasie, how can I help you rearrange the room?&quot; or &quot;Peasie, would you like me to flipchart for you?&quot;

During my workshop, she again responded during the discussion and then asked the participants if everyone knew what &quot;we&quot; mean my ergonomics? She then proceeded to add her little mini lecture on ergonomics. I noticed that a few other staff did not appreciate when she did this.

I think I'm going to have a sidebar conversation with her and find out what the problem is.

Yes she does. How did you figure that one out?

Re: The Connie Chronicles continued

Does not play well with others

A personal convo w/ her would be good. Also w/ your supervisor or whoever makes decisions, just a little mention that you're 'coping' with her, handholding- something along that line, thats not like tattling, but just a broad statement taht she's not a cake walk that one. (who knows if she;s doing same?!

Methinks if she is what i think she is - you are just giving her material to build a case against you. Freeze her out, dont feed the troll.

Re: The Connie Chronicles UPDATE

how long till the second update comes along - the one where she leaves the company again for &quot;greener pastures&quot;

[Peasie]

Re: The Connie Chronicles UPDATE

I can only hope that said pastures are &quot;greener&quot;

So far I feel I am in a better place.
