In my office, there is an employee (male) who took an immediate dislike to a new employee(female), After three years of his refusing to admit there was a problem, but continually either being dismissive or totally ignoring her altogether, there was a discussion where an understanding was supposedly reached. For about a month, he was actually civil, then went back to refusing to acknowledge her existence except when absolutely necessary, even to the point of not acknowledging when she rendered assistance and acting as though she were unreasonable for expecting an actually spoken response. The female employee is uncomfortable enough that she would very much like to find a different workplace, but doesn’t see job prospects that could meet her skill set and pay her bills.
The boss insists he can’t do anything, and it’s a company of 9 people. What would be the best way to proceed in this kind of situation?
Thanks.
