Don't ever walk on eggshells for anyone. You are a human and you have feelings too. I commend you for not bending when you have to deal with her. You being a GM in the past know what it's like to have to deal with someone like this. She has a big head because no one wants to make her mad. I personally would go talk to the GM myself and find out what the deal is with her since your job is not in jepardy. Maybe by doing this, she won't be so nasty to you. |

If you ignore these sort of people for long enough they usually go away! Be civil & professional - don't give her any reason to dis you to the boss - that will annoy her more than ever. |

It just how life if... unfair. If your job is really important to you then your going to have to suck it up. Im actually in the same situation. But its acutally my GM she is the worste!!! Good luck and keep your head up. |

She has been at the company for a long time, give her the respect she deserves and stay out of her way - maybe in time you can have a little chat with her about your issues! |

I have always found that respect is the best way. If you have a chance tell her in little ways how impressed you are of her with her knowledge of her work. After all shes been around forever and she prabably does have alot of knowledge. I have become quite good friends with people like this with an open mind and lots of respect. |

Dont allow this person to be difficicult and dont judge her by what other people think make up your own opinions, say good morning or hello when your paths cross make eye contact.It sounds to me that you are probably good at what you do, and if that is so then you should fear nobody, if you are confident that that what you do in your work is to the best of your ability then just carry on and enjoy it, And if this person is anything like as bad as people make out then the GM will have her sussed |

You need to clear the air between you and her or it's going to be a long year...buy her a cup of coffee or tea one day |

oooh, tricky! i think everyone has someone like that at their office. i have five people like that. it's hard trying to find the balance between not giving in but also not getting walked over.
my advice? pick your battles. i don't think it's about letting her 'win' but not getting stressed over the small stuff. it just makes you feel angry and can seem petty to others (including the GM). but big important issues, i personally feel like it's important to stand up for yourself. i would ask my co-workers (the ones i trust!) how they deal with her, especially if they have been working there a long time. there's always a trick!
but i just stick to my mantra that my mentor taught me: go in there, be highly professional and get the job done. in the end she's the one running to her boss every five minutes to complain about problems while you are the one getting the job done!
hope this helps. remember, you are not alone! and if you need a laugh, i suggest watching the office. it's scary how many people on that show you can find in my workplace... |

Perhaps rather than being the outsider and joining the crowd with everyone else in the office, try to get into 'her inner circle' and understand what makes her tick! Emphatise rather than hide or confront should give you a better chance to stay on top of situation.
Ignoring a problem or sweeping it under the table does not make it go away, better to find a solution to the problem and it would work out better for you and her too. At least you have the upper hand because you know what works with her and how to use it to work to your advantage.
I used to work with a 'difficult' person in the office too and she worked for another manager. She would be 'quite disruptive' in the office and create 'problems' for others too.
What I did was spend a bit of time chatting with her casually and get her to open to me and slowly it became clear why she has this 'difficult/bad attitude.' Over a period of time, I understood why she behaved the way she does but because I treated her as a friend rather than a difficult colleague, I generally had no problems with her. However I also make it clear in no uncertain terms that I will tolerate her 'bad attitude.' It also helps if you are on good term with her GM too. |

(GM...im guessing you mean game master)if your working on something important...or even if you werent you should be able to work without that kind of stress just tell the GM that shes disturbing your work if he doesnt do anything you should just find another job(thats my personal opinion) |
