Reply To: “Issues with a New Colleague”

Coaching will lead this person to assume that you’re on their side. They may then tell leadership that other people feel as she does and mention the LW by name.

Best to just mmm-hmm this person or say something non committal like “I don’t feel the same, but I can see this makes you very frustrated, you should talk to management about this.” Let them be her sounding board and their problem with which to deal. Sounds like they are already getting frustrated and the colleague will be on her way out soon enough.
