I'm dealing with a manipulative team leader, what boundaries do I NOT cross?
About a month ago, my team leader/supervisor (I really don't know what she is) went straight to the facility manager and complained about something I really didn't know I was doing wrong. She never bought what I was doing to my attention and did the unthinkable. I have since distanced myself from her and only communicate with her on a professional level. If she asks any questions, I only respond with a yes or no and that's it (no dialog). She keeps coming around me as to try and see what buttons she can push, by asking off the wall questions that she already know the answers to. It's like she wants me to say something to jeapardize my job. I want to say to her "please leave me alone" or "please get out my face." Am I crossing the line? What boundaries do I NOT cross?

Doesn't sound like you've "crossed the line" at this point if you are dealing with her on a professional level and answering her questions.
It definitely WOULD be crossing the line to tell her to leave you alone or get out of your face (regardless of whether you ask that politely).
The bottom line is that this woman is your boss. She's not your friend (nor should she be).
Carry on as you are. Deal with her professionally and as little as possible. Don't make chit chat. Do your job to the best of your ability. Ask her periodically if there is anything you can do better (so you can avoid situations similar to what caused the problem in the first place).
Good luck,

I pronounced some thing the 1st time the boundary grew to become into crossed. while it grew to become into crossed persistently I now no longer felt obligated to salvage a friendship that grew to become into no longer being commemorated besides. This decision needs to be pondered and not taken gently. Time and historic past would be your terrific indicator of what's going to return sooner or later.
