TL;DR - passive aggressive bully at work questioned how everyone does their job, so I did mine and blocked her access.

I work an office job in charge of finance for a European company. There’s this mean single woman reaching her 50s at work that always feels the need and privilege to judge everyone else. Her judging ranges from anything to how people do their jobs, their personal life choices, and even their personality and what they wear. The economy has been tough recently and pressure is high within the team, and this has manifested into lots of friction and complaints in all directions, mostly coming from her.

One of the many complaints directed at me was that I wasn’t protecting our sensitive data enough, saving our monthly reports in a sharedrive for others to access. It has been this way for decades before I joined and no one was any issues with it, with the said sensitive data often printed out and stuck on walls anyway.

Normally I just ignore the complaints and carry on my work, as both me and my boss are good at ignoring noisy complaints with no reasoning behind. But this time I decided to maliciously comply, and now have set unique passwords for each and every file with remotely sensitive data. Now not only does she need to keep track of all the passwords I’ve set, she also now has no access to some data that me and my boss decided was no longer appropriate for her to see, including what budget we have for some of her operating expenses, and now require proof of said costs otherwise that budget is gone.
