Question:
Why would a woman have this behaviour with a man at the workplace?

I met a lady at the workplace around 10 months ago. Actually, she works on the client side, but her office is located within our corporate building (on another floor). We see each other during the project meetings that are held every two weeks. We also meet ocassionally in the hallways, the entrance, the cafeteria, etc. I don't have to interact with her for work. I do interact with a guy on the client side who is my counterpart. This lady helps my counterpart on various tasks. She has tried to approach and help me in certain ocassions, but I have always ignored and avoided her. She once sent me an e-mail asking me to add another person to the distribution list of the report that I prepare on a monthly basis and that is distributed to the management team. I ignored her request. The lady changed. She was kinda pissed at me. Now she is getting involved in the work that I do and in the last meeting she said "some items are missing in the report". She was wrong. I had to demonstrate and explain that everything was in place in the report. She continued "only 3 to 4 items are missing". I didn't want to argue with her in front of everybody. I just finished saying "we can talk". Obviously, I haven't looked for her to talk about that because, as I have said before, I always ignore her. Why would a woman have this behaviour with a man?

The problem is she is dealing with an unprofessional person who ignores legitimate work requests. I'm surprised you have a job if this is the type of coworker/employee you are.

Why would you ignore her at all? This is plain rude and unprofessional. Then you have the nerve to make it general. SHE acted this way with YOU because of how YOU chose to behave with HER. Get me?



I am sure she had a good reason to add those people to the distribution portion of the report.

Sounds to me like you have the problem. Learn to work with people. She has tried to help you, she's asked you for help, and your response is to ignore her? You won't last long in any job if you can't be nice and work with people. Failure to get along is the number one reason to lose a job, not incompetence.
