Right. I've tried to type this once before but never got far.
Been working as legal PA in small office for 3.5 years now. small company under 10 employees. there is 1 other legal PA (L) she works for same partner as do I.
Everyone is quite close but my boss (the partner) is best mates with L and has been for 20 years. L's cousin is our outsourced IT man.
About 2.5 years ago E (personal friend of both L and boss) came to work for us as a temp. She is the wife of my mum's ex close male friend.
at first all was well, we all worked nicely, got on well. then E started to get nasty with me. I also saw something I shouldn't have seen with personal attacks on me and mother but it was left in a way where I could not have not seen it. I ignored this but E then ranted at me about my work, taking time off sick etc in front of my boss. shouting at me but to my boss with me in next room. I then got nasty comments from L too. I eventually brought a bullying claim against them both but it turned sour. The reason I am not putting the rest on here is because I know a poster here goes on another forum I post on.
I didn't want to communicate with E, so asked L (now made HR manager!) to communicate with her to book holiday. reason being was that if I contacted E to book holiday she would never get back to me. Asking L to go via E to book holiday worked fine. Now I've been asked to ring E again (did this the other week rang twice no reply/response). to book holiday, L's main excuse was she was too busy yet I overheard her when in kitchen on phone to E.
There was also an occasion re passwords for my PC which E thought I had no written down and she thought I'd done this on purpose.
I also didn't get a cash bonus last Xmas after getting one for all previous years (my colleague got one).
I'm now wondering what to do next? if it all starts again should I go off sick (signed off by GP).
I did write an email detailing passwords and stating I wasn't prepared to go through E to book holiday and L should do as she had done and book it for me.
I know all this sounds very petty - I am doing a course so I can get out of there, have tried and failed to get work elsewhere (either wrong role or got down to final 2 candidates).
