text: should i switch positions at work? i have 1 coworker that drives me crazy...and she's very rude & mean. i could switch to a different job that pays the same, but i would loose seniority & i would be on probation for six months? the real question is "what does my supervisor think of the situation?" if he/she knows about the conflict and does nothing, you already know you have to remove yourself from the department. i quit a promising career at southern states cooperative because of just such an issue, but i knew there was no way to win.  the best part? my nemesis is still making dog pay working for farmers, and i started a brand new job as head of communications for a worldwide firm.
