I work in a retail environment as a merchandiser with someone who is not so much a supervisor as a counterpart who works in buying. She purchases, I merchandise. We both have different supervisors. We recently began this working relationship, but I've worked with her before and had the same problem I am having now. If she has concerns about the way something is being done, she does not come state these concerns with me so that I can address them. Additionally, she never makes her actual desires/feelings about projects known to me. In conversations, she either mildly agrees or says something non-committal. Without expressing any concerns to me, she goes to either her supervisor or mine to complain. It has happened on perhaps a dozen occasions since we started working together again recently (and many more if you include our past working relationships). I've asked her directly on three occasions to come directly to me if she has concerns regarding my work, but she does not. Additionally, she told my supervisor something untrue in her most recent complaint (that she told me not to change the way a particular item was merchandised, when in fact she did not). I have contacted my manager regarding this and asked for a sit-down between the three of us where he can observe my request to her to come directly to me with her concerns regarding my work. If she continues to complain to either my or her supervisor without discussing these concerns with me, does this constitute personal harassment?
