So there’s this colleague at work who’s constantly spreading rumors about me because I consistently hit my monthly KPIs, while she struggles to do so. Instead of asking me for advice, she’s been tarnishing my image by gossiping behind my back. It’s honestly really frustrating dealing with someone who can’t handle their own performance and resorts to petty behaviour. I want to confront her, but I’m not sure how to do it without making things worse. Anyone got any ideas?

People like that often act out of insecurity. If you feel safe enough, try pulling her aside and saying something like, “Hey, I heard some things and I’d rather we clear the air directly.” Sometimes calling them in, not out, helps defuse things.
