Nasty/ignorant colleague

Kill her with kindness. Say good morning. Smile at her and be overly nice. She won’t know how to react and you’ll baffle her. It shows you don’t care and hopefully it will make you feel better

My my, what interesting replies ?. I’ve not been on for a couple of days and whoosh, lol.

Don’t some posters get worked up with their replies ?. I should have know a post like this brings them out ?.

But…for those who offer support, much appreciated. Thank you.

I once had a colleague like this. she was my manager but not well liked generally. I was friendly with everyone and had many friends and I think she was jealous. She tried to put me down on occasions but did it once too often. This was what decided me to retire. I heard things went badly for her when I left as she had no charisma and couldn't manage the personnel work.
Stick at it, be nice to everyone including her. Work hard. Don't try to have conversations with her just smile and say good morning etc.

The OP is not being ostracised if she has never spoken to her colleague. These are two people who have never spoken to each other. I suspect the colleague has no idea the OP is thinking these things. I would start a conversation and see what happens.

Nezumi65 - Yes!

Usually when I feel that I’m getting the cold shoulder then other people are too. Ask around, but keep being nice bc you never know what someone has going on at home that they are dealing with.

I find that you ignore the behaviour. It’s got nothing to do with you. You simply say “hello, how are you?” And wait until she responds. If she doesn’t, ask if you’ve done anything to offend? You’d like to get rid of this atmosphere? And then the ball is I. Her court. But simply greet.

Can you introduce yourself to her and say ‘we haven’t had chance to talk much as we always seem to passing. Introduce yourself to her and smile. She may surprise you - even if you say hi to her it’s a start

I had exactly the same when I was at work and I never knew why. She could be downright rude, let the door go in my face even though she saw me coming. I just decided she wasn't worth bothering about. I was always civil to her and if she couldn't be the same that was her problem. When she got married there were whispered huddles sorting out presents, others didn't want to upset me as only myself and another colleague weren't invited. She was upset by it - I wouldn't have wanted to go anyway and didn't contribute.
You can't like everyone you work with but that shouldn't stop you being civil and courteous - she was neither.
