You could write to her and point out a few things, then forget to sign your name.My partner works in a small office and one of his colleagues creates a toxic atmosphere due to mood swings and fighting / arguing about petty things whenever she can.
Their manager is pretty useless and instead of intervening will warn people in advance to be careful around her today shes in a mood.
My partner works from home 2 days and in office 3 days. When shes not in, work is great.
My partner has asked to work from home full-time and only come into office when shes not there.
This request has been denied and my partner is close to handing in his notice. (Two people have previously left due to this person).
Does anyone have advice, legal or otherwise.
The job is great otherwise, but this one person is ruining it.
Yes ,hand in notice, female bullies have immunity as no boss wants the misogyny card flung at them and it's often conveniently playedMy partner works in a small office and one of his colleagues creates a toxic atmosphere due to mood swings and fighting / arguing about petty things whenever she can.

It doesn’t sound like there much in the way of process or structure based on the OP.There are presumably HR processes in place for such grievances.
Read & understand the grievance reporting process & follow it. Management will be compelled to follow it to as it is their process. Not following it leaves them open to all manner of litigious risk.
Bullying is bullying whether the office is large or small or whether the company employs 10 or 10,000. Recently, we've had a thread which discussed calling out male violence against women. Bullying is similar and should not be tolerated. In my day as a local trade union secretary, I'd have this situation resolved in minutes and likely the bully would be handing in her/his resignation if failed to comply.@Leper this is a small office, not a large corporate.
Big companies, with all their resources and training handle these situations badly; this employee hasn't a hope of getting a good outcome
Save your sanity and leave.
I agree, but the person bringing the complaint gets smashed in the process. It's not worth it.Bullying is similar and should not be tolerated.

So you refuse to tolerate it by leaving.
Hi Thirsty, that might be your opinion, but I've been through several court cases as a result of members being bullied and it was the bully who always got smashed and deservedly so. Believe me, once the bully is called out the victims seem to get emotional strength from somewhere and when people who were bullied get going it is difficult to stop them. I could give astonishing examples here, but I'm trying to keep my posts short.I agree, but the person bringing the complaint gets smashed in the process. It's not worth it.

Speak for yourself. Many bosses in my circle will have no difficulty in dealing with such situations.Yes ,hand in notice, female bullies have immunity as no boss wants the misogyny card flung at them and it's often conveniently played
Action is the antidote to despair. I wouldn't hand in notice but I would resolve to leave. I'd quietly secure a job elsewhere then hand in notice. All I'd say to the current employer and the new one is that I liked the work but was looking for a change. While tempting, there's likely no profit in venting your spleen in this case.Does anyone have advice, legal or otherwise.
It is often a different experience when trade unions are involved.Hi Thirsty, that might be your opinion, but I've been through several court cases as a result of members being bullied and it was the bully who always got smashed and deservedly so.

At what point does bullying become bullying? i.e. the person is toxic, difficult to be around etc but would we consider that bullying? I work with someone whom I cannot abide and they're rude, loud and annoying but I don't think I could identify a single episode of bullying. It makes for a very difficult situation to deal with.Bullying is bullying whether the office is large or small or whether the company employs 10 or 10,000.

Well if you're experience is that male bosses are not in anyway reluctant to address bullying by female employees for fear of being labelled sextist ?Speak for yourself. Many bosses in my circle will have no difficulty in dealing with such situations.
Having said that, in the situation described by the OP, leaving is probably the best advice.
