The 'silent treatment'

[camellia0]

Have you ever had a co-worker who pissed you off and you stopped talking to them? If you were in the same room with them, you would pass them and not say a word? This is happening at my place of employment. These foolish people are so childish.

I have had co-workers who got mad at me and would not speak to me.  She got mad because she was being a bully and I fired back one day and she couldn't handle it. Nobody ever stood up to her I guess.

I have a co-worker now I will only be working with for 2 more weeks.  She has said some stuff about me that has gotten back to me.  I have no use for her.  I only speak to her if I have to.  If she speaks to me first.

I guess it depends on the situation and why the silent treatment is taking place.  If somebody gave me a reason I would not go out of my way to talk to them but if it were work related I would not just not speak to them either.

I always try to stay professional even when people make it personal. This way I usually make the right decisions and can logically explain why I did what I did.

It is very sad when adults act like children.

Yes it has happen before and I have done it before to be honest I know is dumb but yeah Lol once your mad your mad.

I never really have any issues with people at work. I come in earlier than ninety nine percent of the staff and leave after the same percentage of people. My results are higher than most of the workers from both a qualitative and quantitative perspective. I am positive in all that I say and turn other people's mistakes into learning opportunities. I have not had anyone talk about me in over five years probably because I work hard, maintain a positive attitude, do not partake in gossip and if there is anyone with anything bad to say, there is not really an audience because people are happy with me. Five years ago I had a manager that was looking to get rid of everyone on his team and said bad things about everyone. He lasted about three months.

I have had that happen a work before. The way handle it is to leave them alone with their attitude. I do not like confrontation. I will talk with them when they come to their senses.

Oh Yea. That's tough working with someone that tries to get under your skin, such a headache. I wouldn't say anything to her and just act like she isn't there and do my work.
It had gotten to the point where I had to have a meeting with the supervisor and their supervisor. (above my boss)

Difficult people are everywhere. I always wonder how they live with themselves. Nobody wants to be around people like that. They should be fired for conduct detrimental to the work place. They create an unhealthy atmosphere at the work place.

[debidoo]

Yes and I am so glad to be retired and not have to deal with such anymore.  I am lonely sometimes but it is better than dealing with people's ignorant attitudes and actions.  Yep life is good.  Sorry you are dealing with it.

To avoid any escalation of violence, its best to keep your distance....

 Oh have I had some of those. When I  was promoted as a manager  there were those who  wanted the job also. some whom had been there a lot longer. But they never tried to learn all of the business. I did. I was willing to take on any part of the job. so when it come time for a new manager  I was elected. I had also gone to school nights in order to get my degree in management. Later on some come up and said they were  glad they didn't get the job because they  did not know  all of what was required, which made me  feel good. the other 3 oh well do what your told and leave me alone. Got along just fine that way.

[plennis]

Yes  I have had that problem. I talk to them about work and I talk to them as if nothing has happened which really seems to throw them off. 

[pstovall]

My sweet little momma would always sum up this type of situation by saying, "She (or he) didn't have the right fetching up! 

[sdenimandlace1]

After the push and push I only talk to them about work relayed problems, it is much more peace that way.
