Hi All,
I just need to vent. I am at my wits end. My boss whom I don't think likes me very well and another coworker that is a kiss up are ALWAYS whispering. It is so rude and intimidating to me. This other coworker I do not trust at all. She will text me at night to ask what is wrong if I seem off that day. I truly think she reports everything back to the boss. We are all in our 50s and this is so childish. I can't vent to anyone at work because of trust and I don't know where their loyalties lie. How do I handle this? It really takes me back to middle school. I am trying to find something else because of the toxicity here but no luck so far. I think this is so unprofessional on my boss's part.

Unfortunately, you can't asume anything. I have an employee that comes to whisper at my desk about new recipes. It makes her happy to share and it breaks up the monotony of the day.
Maybe your fears are creating something that isn't there.

If you are in social media.. do not let her convince you to add her. She will use anything "innocent" against you. Including LinkedIn
I dealt with people like this. Bad taste in my mouth: they want drama and dirt to survive. If none exists, they will create it.
Exhausting personality . Avoid. Busy assignment, late for meetings, sleepless nights..say anything to get them to go away
