and how do I react next time they don’t greet me?
I started working at this department 3 weeks ago. I went into the office I now work at, greeted 2 coworkers I’ve already worked with, they looked at me, said nothing, kept talking to themselves.
How am I supposed to interpret that?
To me this is disrespectful, maybe you disagree?
Then, as I was working, I saw both of them staring at me. What am I supposed to do when that happens? To me this signals hostility and passive aggressiveness.
I separate private life from personal one but even I know that the least you can do is to greet your coworkers, unless you want them to quit.
Have you previously annoyed them in some way, or had a disagreement?
Were they in the middle of a proper conversation and might’ve felt like you butted in with a greeting?
It sounds odd. I’d have a think about whether you’ve previously annoyed them in some way, but if not then they might just be grumpy. In which case there’s nothing to worry about, and you just do you.
OP’s last post is about shouting at someone who they felt was acting like they were their manager but wasn’t, then feeling upset that no one asked for their side of the story.
There’s more going on here.
