I once worked in an office where I offended the secretary. She quit answering my phone, processing my travel papers, etc. I told her I knew I had done something to offend her and I wanted to make it right, but she wouldn't tell me what it was. I had to talk to the boss about her refusing to do her job because this was back before voice mail, etc. It was awful. Finally she just quit without giving notice. Whatever it was bugged her a lot more than it bugged me and it bugged me a lot. It's horrible to work in a situation like that and I really feel for you. But sometimes there's just nothing you can do. If the other person wants to perpetuate the situation you're stuck. Just live in peace in your own self since you know you tried to do everything possible. To this day I don't know what I did wrong, but I quit worrying about it a long time ago. Life is too precious to waste worrying about people who WANT to have something to take offense at. |
