Ask Al A Carte: Coworker Craziness

Dear Al A Carte,

A coworker is driving me crazy.

She gets over-stressed at work and then makes outrageous accusations. Sometimes she apologizes, but you can tell it isn’t sincere.

What would you suggest I do to protect myself from her abuse?

Coworker

Dear Coworker,

If you’ve done nothing wrong, it shouldn’t matter what she says. You might want to keep a log of her outbursts. Then, if the situation continues, you have proof and can discuss it with your boss.
