Dealing with a nasty co-worker

Just wanted to let you know that “Susie” and I had a good week. No flare-ups or complaints from her. Back on reasonably cordial terms. I’m very careful to not overdo the email or do anything that she might interpret as trying to micromanage her.

It’s a crazy work environment though. They laid off a few people three weeks ago, and then had a brief company meeting to say that should be all the layoffs for now, we are at the right size, etc. Despite that, they let go three more people this past Monday morning! So, since I have been there, all of two months, down from 50ish to 40ish and it really makes for a very tense atmosphere. I really wish I could afford to retire or simply work part-time at a fun job. This situation just worries me every day.
