I'm undergoing training sponsored by my company, along with a few other colleagues.
All of these people are new to me. One of them, a girl, has been cause of nagging annoyance for more than a week now. (It's been two weeks into the training. Two more to go)
At first, she would occasionally clarify doubts from me, instead of asking the instructor. I didn't mind, because the mistakes she made were lessons for me too.
But she's taken my complicity to mean something entirely else.
By the end of the first week, she basically doesn't bother following the instructor, fumbles along knowing I'll help, and when she does get stuck, she'll disturb my flow of work (it's coding, and you do need to think. I can't think while yapping with other people. I need my focus and concentration.)
She has started doing it very frequently now. She often follows up the interruptions with remarks like, I trouble you a lot, don't I?
Or her pessimistic, lazyass pov: she doesn't understand much during training, doesn't want to work to understand it, but will readily blame the instructor and her non-programming background for her impotence.
That's exactly the attitude I detest.
I have been programming since I was in the eighth grade, so to me it has always been my first love
She has annoyed me to the point I dream of shouting in her face to ing shut up and let me be for once.
How can I tell her off without burning bridges? How can I best handle this?
