I have been dumbfounded as to why some women causes drama among their female colleagues in the workplace. There are so many promotions and advocacy about women supporting women and women empowering each other, but in the workplace it turns into cat fights. Why?

Speaking From Experience, Here’s Why.

I too, have been treated nasty and have been bullied in the workplace by former female co-workers and bosses. So here are the reasons as to why your female colleague is being foul to you.

1. She Is Jealous

You got recognized or promoted over her and she starts to create an uncomfortable or even hostile environment by talking badly and gossiping about you. She is acting out because she is upset she was overlooked.

2. She Is Intimidated

She feels threaten by you for doing a better job at a task or project. She will cut you off or shut you out and throw your ideas out. Or she’ll take credit for your hard work or ideas. She probably thinks you’re out to get her job or compete against her.

3. She Wants To See You Fail or In Hot Water

She will tell you how you should do your job. She is constantly watching you to see if you make a mistake so she can point it out to you or to upper management. She plays the victim in front of upper management.

4. She Wants All The Attention

She might be enraged that she isn’t the one people are looking for, for answers and guidance. She thought she had all the attention until you came and changed the game simply by being candidly yourself. You are probably nicer and more approachable. She probably can’t stand that.

5. She Loves To Hate You

When and if you are new to a company. If she doesn’t know you, she is bound to judge you because she simply likes to hate on anyone who isn’t in her “group”.

It Was Never About You. It Was Always About Me And My Self-Improvement.

I was raised by hard working parents. At a young age, I was ambitious and I knew I wanted to be successful in life. I also wanted my parents to be proud of me. Entering into the workforce, it never matter to me if the job was low level. The goal was to become an expert in that job. Even when I hated the job or disliked a boss, I was always committed to performing well. I wanted to build a good reputation and work history for myself in hopes that I would find better opportunities so maintaining good work ethics was priority. It was never about who I could kick down or stomp over to get up. The battle to succeed in life for me was never against someone else, let alone another female. It was me against myself and how I evolve over time.

• If you are like me, keep working on yourself and continue to grow, despite the haters. Stay humbled and take no shit from people who want to see you fail.
