New girl at work. Any advice?

Scenario: Waitress for many years at one spot. Quit because I could see business was going downhill. Got a new job at a bigger, better place. Still in same area (all business owners must know each other) Been there 2 weeks and one girl (pregnant) getting on me telling me I should quit.





I think it's because I'm making more than her, she's the drama queen, and she can't stand the fact that I know what I'm doing after 2 weeks in. I have no problem with anyone else. (there must be 30 employees)





She said to me tonight, ';if you can't do your job, then maybe you should quit.'; ';And this customer is pissed'; I went back to that customer and they Weren't pissed.


Ugh.


Should I just ignore her and wait till she goes on maternity leave?


Personally, I don't think she should be waitressing at this stage.New girl at work. Any advice?
It might be that she is worried you will outshine her in job performance while out on maternity leave. She may feel things will not be the same upon her return.





Whatever her fears may be, you are a threat. Her feelings can be analyzed to death, but the fact is you were hired to do a job, generate profits for the owners, and not add to any employee soap opera drama. If you work with honor and dignity, you will have to let the chips fall where they may in all good conscience.

I'd let my boss know, in a professional manner, about her comments and rudeness. Don't talk about her, or anything like that. Make her out to be the bad one and make sure you have nothing coming back on you. Tell you boss that she's almost impossible to work with and jepordizes your relationships with your customers.
Oh I absolutely HATE people like that! Yeah, she's most definitely jealous, and don't let it get to you, or at least.. don't let her know that it's getting to you. Just hold your head up high and wait it out until she gets to go and birth her rotten spawn.
POINT BLANK....





Don't let someone else interfere with you handling your business. If she's hating, let her hate. She's probably just intimidated. Kill her with kindness.
If she's not the boss why are you even listening to her since you claim to know what you're doing? Maybe you should just quit then!
No way should you quit. It sounds like there's no reason for you to be intimidated by her. Ignore her and do your job the best that you can!
Ah, right, she isn't the boss, just has more senority then you do. Well, bow your head and knuckle down under it to do your work, make a point to be better at it then anyone. You should not have the attitude of what she should be doing or not doing. You should be concerned only with what you should or should not be doing. (Besides has she said she was pregnant or are you just assuming she is?)


Like I said, knuckle down and be humble when you go to work, at work, and from work. You can always take your frustration out in your own way, when you are home. Try it for 2 weeks and the customers will notice as will the other employees and they will get on her case. People do already notice what she is doing. Every thing you do or don't do is seen by a lot of people. And remember to be polite to her and the other people. Hey, it could be she did like your perfume to a misunderstanding years ago she has never forgiven... Just do it and smile.





AoA
Ok, for sure she is not in her place when she is saying those comments to you. But you have to take in consideration that she is pregnant, and we all know that during pregnancy, a lady can get very moody! Just ignore her, I think thats the best thing you can do. Don't react to her comments because it will only make things worse. You know what you are doing is right, so why bother with a pregnant woman. And anyways, like you said, she will be going on maternity leave, so just do your thing girl, no matter whats goin on around you.
