I'll try not to go into great detail because it would just be too long. I'm in the middle of two co-workers having conflict (to put it very lightly).
One gal I share an office with. The gal in my office isn't the easiest to get along with, but we get along. She is a very hard worker but doesn't know the meaning of being tactful. She has "stepped on the other gal's toes", she steps on everyone's toes. She says it is the supervisor who has done this, which is true but she isn't helping the matter.
The other one I've known for over a year and we get along great, have a great work history together with confidentiality. The problem between the two of them I can see points to both sides good and bad. I've tactly told both of them what I thought and so far am able to keep good working relations with both. I have told them both that I think this is ridulous that our office can't pull together and work together. Of course they both agree, and they don't say it but feel it is the other one being the problem.
I'm afraid tho that this will blow up on me. Would you just tell them that you don't want to talk about it anymore? Our supervisor (owner of the company) is out of state and will be back on Monday. So if this does not get worked out tomorrow he will be involved and I really don't want that to happen. It just reflects badly on our dept. I've suggested a meeting to work through this but the second gal says she can't right now she's too mad.
By the way, the gal that I share an office with is my sister-in-law
But I can politely tell her what I think--so far anyway.
