Meeting with someone you hate?

Kim,

Before you go into the meeting, make a list of all the problems (documentation is everything and it will keep you focused and calm). Hey, let's face it, this is a meeting because THERE IS A PROBLEM...Helllooooo, you're not going in there to sugar coat anything. Just flat out let her know very calmly (I know how difficult that can be) what some of the issues are. Let her go first though. This way you can get a feel for the "mood", if you get my drift. Hopefully there will be "higher ups" in the meeting with you (that can pull you off of her if you are forced to choke the $hit out of her) and you'll have witnesses to what she says. If the management already thinks you were justified, chances are they already know there's been a problem. Have you been there longer than she? You've got clout girl, use it to your advantage. But don't stoop to her level by setting off a screaming match. Take a deep breath. Count to 10. Let the management see her for the coniving bitch that she really is.

Good luck Kim. I'll call you tomorrow night or call me when you get out (if you feel like it).

(((((HUGS)))))

I know personally when I get mad I can't say all the things I want to say I start rambling and babbling so I think the list is a good idea. Just try to stay calm and think of it as your time to say how you feel. Just tell her what you just told us.
