My co-worker is trying to sabotage me!! Should I go to HR with this problem?

Yes you should go to the HR department about her. Number one she reorganized your whole desk, and erased all of the messages that you needed to phone people back with. She also looked at your arrest record, which is absolutely none of her business. If you mentioned this to your boss, you should have nothing to worry about, but still that being said, it is still none of her business, and she should not have even brought it up to look at. She doesn't deserve to be in your office. If she wants to work there, they can maybe find a workspace that she can work, either of her very own, or something where she can work at a table or something outside of the office that you work in. Just a thought.

I see a key sentence here: "...(you) have a pretty good reputation with the higher ups'. That's in your favor.

This coworker has no regard or respect for you, i.e. throwing your notes away, etc. What you've written above is your documentation. Add dates; if you've forgotten exact dates, go as close to remembrance as you can; also get this coworker's full name/title, time she arrives.

Pulled up your arrest record? How and why was she allowed access to a confidential matter? That needs to be questioned to the max (or is an arrest record considered public record-someone correct me if I'm wrong). Goes into your personal voicemail and deletes? Do you also share passwords? if so, get it changed. Turn off your computer when you leave. If you don't, all bets are off. Your IT dept. should set up an account for her to log on as herself.

I'd go right back to your director and HR and lay out what you've said here and I'd also tell them "you're protecting your integrity, work ethic and good standing against someone who's obvious mission is to cause trouble, and it's affecting your job performance."

If, after you've gone to your Director and HR, and this dysfunctional intensifies her obnoxious behavior towards you - keep documenting, seperate dates on separate paper, double-space. Send copies to both Director and HR.

Commuting to work's hard enough. Commuting to work with a difficult, and/or devious employee is even worse, and a double whammy. I've been there. You shouldn't have to tolerate this. Document.

I really hope it doesn't happen to you-but if you're fired on some unfounded charge, your documentation could stand up in court.

Good luck

I am positive that she violated some company regulation by looking up your arrest record. I am assuming she did it on the computer, so it should be easy enough to find out that she did just that if she denies it. You definitely need to go to your Director about this. You also need to document everything she has done and let them know about it. Tell them that you didn't want to narc on her but she has been doing these things and that pulling up your arrest record and showing it to other employees was the last straw. If you have a good reputation and have not had problems with a lot of other employees, they should believe you.

omg that is just ridiculous of that girl. What is her problem? Well you have your proof- tell that co worker that saw the girl to report her to the boss and you do it too. Get that immature brat fired! She is doing things that are BEYOND illegal. Messing with a desk is one thing, but snooping through police information is totally wrong.

Definantly go to HR! This gal has really crossed the line. Sharing workspaces with people is always stressful, but when others are going through your things and messing with your private messages, it is wrong, very wrong!
