Go put a “I Love Palin” bumper sticker on her car.
Dittos that. I speak from painful experience. You will find yourself in the HR department defending yourself against a title 9 complaint or some such other thing she could pull out of her rear. Be careful-I had a coworker that decided she “didn’t like me” too. She started documenting “perceived” statements, innuendos, comments, etc. The HR official had 4 legal sized pages, front and back of things this chick had documented about me. In the end, after a 6-8 month “investigation” the charges were found to be “unfounded”. It is an experience I will not soon forget.
Seriously, I would not ‘ tweak ‘ this person any more. You are asking for trouble and a liberal co-worker will give it to you.
If you must interact with her try to have another person with you. If she claims you said something you didn’t the third person can back you up.
A liberal co-wroker will lie about you, your job performance, say anything that will ensure others hate you as much as they do. While they can not debate and win they will surely try to undermine you at work.
In my line of work many of my buyers and people I buy from are hard core liberals. I listen to everything they say and the amount of hatred and ignorance is mind boggling. But I just nod and say “ yes, I see...well, you now I am not terribly interested in politics “
If these people ever knew I was a Conservative they’d never have anything to do with me. I’d be finished.
Thanks for the advice, especially the legal and HR-related type. - ETR
Feign concern and ask if she’s feeling well... look very concerned, and keep repeating from time to time that you are worried about her because she looks ‘tired’ or ‘not well’...
You would be surprised how this can make someone run down, tired and even sick.
Look for her to file a complaint with the company’s HR department because your very existence constitutes a hostile work environment if she’s in the same building as you.
I'd tell the HR Department that this woman demonstrated extreme hostility toward you, that you felt threatened by her behavior, and that you were considering filing a Hostile Workplace lawsuit against the company if it happens again.
She'd do it for you...
call her a racist jew hating nazi.... see what that does.
Yep. People who are looking for the Nazis in Argentina or secret Antarctic bases are wasting their time - they're all in California, passing as liberals.
“How should I interact with her from now on?”
View this individual as the enemy that she is and avoid encountering her or interacting with her at all costs.
“How should I interact with her from now on? Am I wrong to have taken this so personally?”
Send her flowers and make sure you call her “babe”.
Contact your HR dept.
You need advice from them concerning anti-semitism in the workplace.
Tell them you’re not ready to file a complaint against this person; but have contacted the ADL legal dept.
Make sure it goes in YOUR file.
Then put a Gadsden flag sticker on her car.
Comeuppmanship is more empowering than appeasement, and a thing of admiration if subtly and artfully done. I would let the dish grow cold.
If you never considered her a close friend, screw her...she is stupid and ignorant based on what she thinks republicans are. I’d snub her every chance I got and if I had to interact with her, it would be smarmy as hell unless she’s your boss....then I don’t have an answer for you...:O)
You are the problem, my dear. Leave this poor, stupid old cow alone.
Also, the kind of libs like this woman seems to be can take things VERY personally and would not think twice of making false accusations to harm your career.
I would leave out the lawsuit part, but I would think a nice, calmly-worded email to HR (bcc to your personal email address) stating that this woman displayed extreme hostility toward you, to the point where you were concerned she might make up stuff to accuse you of, might be prudent insurance against trouble later. The bcc to your personal email would be your evidence that you did notify HR of this unhinged woman.
I would recommend you send it first thing in the morning.
Lawyer up. No kidding.
I agree completely and start documenting all meetings 3especially all of the participants if possible. From very bitter experience I can say that certain personalities are poisonously dangerous.
As the Fable goes: Why did the Scorpion sting the frog in the middle of the river crossing, even knowing that doing so would kill it as well as the frog? The Answer: It was the scorpion’s nature to do so.
I despise all libs and anyone who votes for them. I will not tolerate enemies of freedom. Period.
Annoy a Liberal:
Work hard and be happy!
I get more positive comments on that sticker.
Seriously though, notify HR before she does and document everything regarding her from now on.
