ucsducladad:

She’s told me all about her new business. I’ve walked in on her when she is on the phone talking with customers not related to our business (a real different conversation than the one had with clients to whom we contract, believe me.) She told me she is “outta here” soon since her business finally takes off. My word against hers if she denies ever telling me these things, but I am telling the truth. How would I be able to talk in detail about her new business if she didn’t tell me about it herself? She’s gonna hate me and perhaps badmouth me to the other contractors in the company. I do rely on a good, professional reputation to help me achieve my goals (as do the other contractors). I don’t know how this is all going to play out. It could explode in my face. The other option is to tuck tail, put out there that I’m a wimp who can be pushed around, and slink into the office everyday knowing that I let her bully me. I try to imagine how I would feel if she leaves in a few months to run this other business full time and I let her push me out of my office. Plus, it’s time to see where I really stand with the manager. Is he really “very happy” with my production or is he BSing me?
