Don't mean to bring anybody down, but I have nobody to ask (that's in the biz) about this.
I work close to my home so a lot of people know me on the outside...men and women both. My 17yr old daughter was killed in a car accident two years ago and it was in all the papers. A ton of customers came to the viewing and a bunch of dancers and club owners as well. I am very lucky that people care so much. I actually couldn't believe that the customers cleaned up so well!
Anyway, there is this one woman I dance with and she talks A LOT! People tip her to get them away from them. That's some background. Here's the problem...every time I see her, she mentions my daughter or how nice the decorations at her crash site are or how she saw stuff in the paper about it (we have tons of lawsuits going on).
I have to be up and on my game to work. What is an effective way for me to tell her to leave it be? I've tried asking nicely, changing the subject etc. She just doesn't STOP! I don't think I should have to change my shifts to not work with her and I don't want to be rude either. The place we both work at is really small so we have to deal directly with each other when we work together. I hesitate going to management because I'm very close to them and am afraid they'll fire her.
Sorry for the long post. Any suggestions? You women are all so smart I figured someone could help me. Thanks in advance.
