Coworker Harassment(?)
I just started working as a server about a month ago in an assisted living facility and this one coworker I have seems to have it out for me.
It started when we were having a discussion about the laws in our state surrounding working, where I corrected her by saying in specific scenarios, an employee does not have to take their break if they do not have the opportunity to step away from their duties. When I corrected her, she said, "Don't argue with me. I'm 38 years old and I think I know more about the law than you." I said "okay," and assumed the interaction was over because we did not talk for the rest of my shift.
The next week, breakfast is almost over and we are required to wash all of the cloth napkins so we can reroll them for lunch. I am cleaning the last of my tables, but I run to put the last of our napkins in the bin to have them washed. I ask the same coworker if she "could do the napkins, please" and she starts to scream at me as loud as she can about how "no one talks to her like that" and "no one tells her what to do." She leaves the dining area where I am, but continues yelling where I can hear her continuing to scream about how she will "show me what a bitch is," that, "I've got another thing coming," and, "I'm almost 40 years old and no 17 year old is going to tell me what to do."
I had a conversation with both the kitchen and building manager about it, and they told me that I had been reported for my "tone" and "lacking initiative" which I assume were from the same coworker. Afterwards, they only said that they would "talk" to her, which has not resulted in any improved behavior.
Today, I heard from one of our cooks that she has started a rumor that has escalated to the front desk staff that I am going to be fired. Is there anything at all I can do to try and resolve this? It's unlikely for her to be fired because it's a "family business" and in past cases, other staff here have only been fired if they physically neglected or harmed a resident. I come home feeling horrible and having my day ruined because I don't want to be fired and I don't know why she hates me so much. I have no problems with any of my other coworkers, it's just her who dislikes me.
