Advice would be appreciated.
The past couple of months, I have had a really hard time working with one coworker especially because I caught her getting into my purse. Someone else said they caught her stealing some money from them. (Like $5, but still). Management won't do anything because there are no cameras to witness either incident and the girl is quite obviously special needs. (I'm not saying that to be mean. She actually has autism or schizophrenia or something.) I thought that when I told the manager I didn't feel comfortable working with her, and he agreed not to have us working at the same time, that was that.
However, recently, another coworker has come down with shingles, and with another visiting her elderly mother, I was roped in to working with the problematic girl. Management said that another worker would have to stay late to ensure Problem and I weren't alone together (I don't know what they think would happen, but whatever). The one roped into staying late today had a sour attitude all morning because she thinks I'm being selfish and stubborn. They actually sent ME home an hour a half early because I was making the girl uncomfortable; which we were both ignoring each other so I don't know what I did but there ya go...
Should I just ignore it all and brush it off, or cut my losses and part ways with the place?
