Dealing with a rude HR manager can be tricky, especially when they’re the only person in the department. The key is to maintain professionalism, document interactions, and set boundaries. DolFinContent emphasizes keeping detailed records of incidents, including dates, times, and specific behaviors, to protect yourself if issues escalate.

Indeed and Glassdoor, for example, recommend staying calm and neutral in all communications. Address issues politely and factually, and focus on solutions rather than confrontation. If her behavior affects your work or violates company policies, consider escalating to a higher-level manager or another trusted leader. You may also seek mentorship or guidance from colleagues for support.

Your goal should be to manage the situation professionally while protecting your mental health and career growth.
