She rebuffed a colleague’s attempts at becoming friends. Now the colleague is sending rude letters.

I am a manager at my job. Last June, a new employee transferred from a different unit. She was very upset the first couple of days. She also had a fear of reporting to her new supervisor because she thought she “looked mean.”I explained how I manage and how our team works. She was appreciative. She started bringing me breakfast in the morning. I asked her to stop several times, but she continued to bring me food gifts and other types of gifts, leaving them on my desk.

She also said she believes that I am intimidated by her and that I am jealous of her self-confidence, that I’m jealous of the things that she does, the way she carries herself, and the fact that she’s younger than me. She has sent me notes and letters where she said that I’m very fragile, saying that she knew that I needed her to take care of me.

Print out every communication she has sent you and go to HR right away. You don't know if she has behaved this way toward other people in the company, but her behavior toward you seems to have taken a menacing turn, and it is alarming.My girlfriend and I have been together for three years. I really love her and we both feel that marriage is the logical next step. My problem is that I really worry about losing my freedom.
