Advice from Amy Dickinson.
Last June, a new employee transferred from a different unit. She was very upset the first couple of days. She also had a fear of reporting to her new supervisor because she thought she “looked mean.”She started bringing me breakfast in the morning. I asked her to stop several times, but she continued to bring me food gifts and other types of gifts, leaving them on my desk. This was completely unwanted.In December, she got promoted.
She drove all the way over to where I work to “say hi.” I told her I appreciated this, but that I needed to get back to work. She also said she believes that I am intimidated by her and that I am jealous of her self-confidence, that I’m jealous of the things that she does, the way she carries herself, and the fact that she’s younger than me.
I feel like I’m being stalked. The sappy, needy emails and letters that she writes are just too much for me.Dear Manager: Yes, you should go to HR immediately. You probably should have gone a long time ago. This person seems to be “single white female-ing” you – becoming more manipulative and obsessive over time. You have attempted to get her to stop several times, and she has not respected your reasonable boundaries.
