I want to complain at work!

I want to complain at work to my bosses about the attitude of a colleague, however as the baird would say lies the rub! She is the only female in my team and will undoubtly pull the ' sexual discrimination' strings!

Now it annoys me that I shouldn't because of this fact but I cannot stand working with this person and I'm not alone, several people feel the same way.

She has the annoying habit of making out she is the victim and flirting with the powers that be which then turns the tables on us.

I just know I'll get the label of being a sexist and its really bugging me!

So the question I often ask is: What what a fellow Orger do?

Approach a couple of your collegues that feel the same about this person, and ask them, if you were to make an official complaint, would they open their mouths & back you up?

If the answer is positive, make the complaint in writing to your boss (that way they definately have to act on it), and mention in the letter that it's come to your attention that several other people feel the same as you do. Although don't drop anyone in it, when asked as to whom, just tell your boss that you'll speak to those people to get them to come forward to the boss.

That way, you keep the trust of other collegues because it's them coming forward, not being questionned about it.

Yeah, but most smell nicely.

Rather than just complain, or complain in writing.....start to keep a log of all the incidents that occur, writing down what was said, how it was said, who is affected by it, etc.

Then you have.......EVIDENCE!!

Also, do you have a HR dept you can speak to?

are you a member of a union?

Complain. You should be able to stand on your own feet.

One of my problems is my boss is unlikely to do anything about it as he doesn't want to be had for bullying or harrassment.

It also doesn't help the fact that having a female admist its ranks is good for publicity.

I think its widely known she is a trouble maker but nobody wants to make the first move. And what is worse is is rumoured she is fraternising with certain managers.
