Co-worker Snag

About 4 years ago I hit a snag with a silly co-worker. She was just plain trifling. I couldn't stand her. She never wanted the boss to talk to anyone else besides her. If he tried to consult with others, she'd abroptly cut in as if she was some sort of prima donna. To become teacher's pet, she'd buy th boss gifts to outfit his office. She used to coast my office doorway to bee-line past me into his office. (I was the secretary) and she was to ask before barging in. Eventually the early breakfasts, lunches, PM breaks, and mata hari bribery tactics wore him down. She had him wrapped around her pinky to the extent he was eating out of the palm of her hands. Yep. The briberies were effective.

Soon she put him up to steal even a senior reacher's work and give it to her. This is what the whole Build-up was for. And he fell for it. Yes, believe it or not, the boss, the highest authority in our workgroup, was conspiring with his little skirt to cheat another pysician out of her research work. As a result the physcian left the lab. A lot of things happened -- beyond my control and I reacted. That she was getting special treatment, the Unfairness sent me onto a tailspin. I just couldn't help myself. I let her know what I thought about her; he came after me. I left that job and now I work for a wonderful man.
