I have a co-worker who is super nice and nosy AF. What makes it worse is that she literally, practically, sits in my lap at the office. Office space is very cramped and there are 11 of us crammed into a largish room. My quad has two desks side by side and two back to back with each other. When we are on the phone it sounds like a mini tele-marketing center. The only thing missing are the heavy accents that sound like they might be Bangledeshi or Paki or Indian.
Anyhoo... This co-worker who sits right beside me constantly looks at EVERYTHING I am doing on my computer. And it is driving me whacko!! She constantly interjects and makes comments on literally EVERYTHING I am doing.
Today I put privacy screens on my computer monitors because she made the comment as I was adjusting them... "I can see everything you do no matter where you adjust them....te he he he. I am just messing with you."
Normally, I would have just looked her dead in the eye and said "You need to learn about boundaries." But, this is a world where I am expected to get along with my co-workers and be nice. I have tried the subtle approach and made "joking remarks" about her stuff not crossing the line between our desks. So... I have privacy screens. I am probably going to send my supervisor a letter strongly encouraging her to champion more office space for our group. I don't think that will work. I suppose I can try to find a better location somewhere in the building, push the person who occupies it in front of a bus, and put in my request for the vacant space.
