An HR Officer expressed concern that a coworker is attempting to take her job. The officer has been working at the company for over a year and had been performing well until she noticed her coworker trying to undermine her.
The coworker has been subtle in her rudeness, but it is clear that she wants the HR Officer's job. She has been mentioning to other coworkers that the HR Officer is too busy to be involved in certain projects and that she could easily handle those duties.
The HR Officer is trying to find a way to interact with her coworker in a kind manner without ignoring the rude behavior. She has stopped talking to her coworker socially, but now the coworker is trying to get her excluded from projects.
The HR Officer is seeking advice on how to handle the situation, particularly since her coworker is competent and well-liked by others in the company.
