Would you care so much if a coworker stopped communicating with you?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Well obviously she’s not talking to him because he yelled and swore at her. Perhaps he should try to apologize if he feels bad about it. Plus she was asking him to do something work related, his entire behavior was quite unprofessional, from the swearing to not doing the task. (assuming he didn’t perform it) If it was me who was being ignored, I don’t care, unless that person is, or was, my friend, and if it doesn’t affect my work. Although I have a nasty vocabulary, I don’t start yelling my head off and swearing at people.
