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.
Why are they talking to themselves? Are they busy and don’t want to be distracted?
Or do you mean two people were talking amongst themselves?
You’re the kind of person I would just stare at if you greeted me at work. Why you gotta be like that?
I actually don’t understand. I’m trying to clarify what the situation was.
If a person was for example trying to count something (hence talking to themself), I could understand why they didn’t respond.
If two people were just chilling and ignored you, the yeah, that could be rude.
I always say hi to people I know. They always say hi back. It’s a basic right for people who like each other.
