| honestly I wouldn't respond to them nor give them the time of day from here on out. All they did was show you how insecure they are about Who they are and their abitity to do the job. Obviously your a threat in their mind, so clearly You have the power to show them 'why' you were hired and that your a darn good driver and employee. ........... I've heard these kind of comments in times past and at first it made me mad. Then after thinking about it - realized they only showed their true colors. Keep your head up high and walk proud. :wink: |

Geez, I hate when guys cant deal with such minor issues.......EGO!
Saying nothing has more of an impact......and in 3 weeks you will be happier that you didnt say anything.
Congrats on your promotion too! |

| I agree with For4Roses. I'd just keep quiet and not say a word. I wouldn't stoop to their level or give them the satisfaction of a response. I find you acheive more by saying nothing. It speaks volumnes. Congrats on your new promotion Malekat. :) Drive safe everyone. :) |

| Thank you for congrats on promo. But they do not know that i am their new boss yet so i don't think they are jealous of what i have earned. But the way they are behaving will have an impact on them when they do find out. You ever heard the saying be nice to people because you do not know who they are :wink: :) |

While they may not know they can see that you are out there busting hump and getting the atten of upper mgt while they are just sliding by thinking if they do the min amount of work they will be worked up the ladder.
Remember tho just cause they wronged you dont take it out on them when your boss cause mgt sees that too. You just have to show them that your the better person and keep it to bizness.
I wish you luck 8) |

naw they will just say your blowing the boss and thats why your where you are now. Just make sure you watch them a lil close cause they may try to get you to mess up and will be nice enough to point it out to the boss everytime.
Exp.
Dilrod Joe: Sue I need to get fuel at xxxx the boss told me to call you to have you approve it/ give me a verify code.
Sue: Ohh Ok Joe here it is..
Dilrod Joe: Yea Sue told me to fuel up at xxxx i thought we didnt use them?
You get the picture
Ive been in your shoes as a dude and ive seen ppl try and destroy those up and coming stars like yourself just remember CYA and all will be good.

All im saying is in the beginning of dealing with those trying to hold you down Cover Your Ass. So they dont try stringing you into trouble.
You seem to have your head on and I think you will do fine. I would just hate to be reading in a cpl months that things didnt work out cause of these buttnuggets. |

| Oh you mean like keeping a journal of who said what when and who was present, catching it on tape etc. Clever girl huh? when i posted this question i was interested in how other women have handled this kind of behaviour or if others had run into it, but i do thank you for your input and concern. |
