Answer :

answer:If your assistant is venting to someone else, but insisting to you that nothing is wrong, then I see three possibilities: 1. You are the problem she’s venting about. Or… 2. The problem involves something that she thinks would lower your opinion of her (or cause her problems in the workplace) if you knew about it, Or… 3. The problem is something she thinks you wouldn’t be sympathetic to her concerns about. Honestly, I don’t know that there’s really anything you can or should do about it. If she insists nothing’s wrong, you can’t make her tell you. And going after the other support staff person without some pretty solid knowledge that she’s definitely creating a negative work environment strikes me as both dicey and unfair. If the other person is giving your assistant counsel that you wouldn’t agree with, that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s doing anything wrong…
