Dealing With A Troublemaker In The Office

[Treacle71]

She causes trouble with most people in the office. I was just on my way out of the office at the end of my working day, my bag over my shoulder and cardigan on, when another colleague, Yasmin*, wanted a fully blown conversation with me. I said, "So sorry, I can't talk now. I must get my train. We'll talk next time. OK?" She said, "OK. See you tomorrow".
Next day, Yasmin* said to me, "You know Katie* told me you were rude to me and shut me down like that yesterday on your way out, but I told her you weren't like that type of person". I told said back, "But you know I live the furthest away and my working day ended and why is Katie* getting involved in our conversation?".
Katie* causes problems for everyone and complains to management about everyone in the office, but the manager does nothing about her as the manager can't stand Kattie*.
What's the best way to deal with Katie* who pokes in her nose in everything? She's a meddler.

Just do your job. Be friendly but dot worry if they don't always seem friendly back. Don't keep overtime little incidents

Overthinking...

Ignore is good. Or find another job away from colleagues you can't tolerate.

There's one of these in every workplace, people realise what's happening and don't rise to the bait, just do that
