Hi all, I just want to ask for advice on what to do if someone is ignoring me at work.

We were good friends before, I[24M] and she [24F] are on the same department and we see each other on a daily basis.

And is it true to not be friends or engage in a relationship with a coworker?

  1. I mean, you should absolutely not be engaging in a relationship that is more than a friendship with anybody at work that’s pretty obvious. I’m pretty sure that most places have got a lot of laws as well to prevent that from happening under sexual harassment. So if you have been talking to this person in that type of way, it’s most likely that they realized that they could get into trouble/lose their job/someone else that you guys work with brought it up that they couldn’t notice and they got scared and didn’t want to get caught so they stopped communicating with you.

    But if you’re talking about just a platonic friendship, I think that you also need to have boundaries. There are definitely some people who end up being best friends outside of work, but I have had really bad experiences with that. I got a job last year and made friends with someone that had a bunch of kids and I am a mom so I thought we hit it off and invited her to my house … She ended up breaking into my car with her husband and stealing a bunch of stuff from Me that she knew I had in my car. Only reason I found out it was her was because I was smart enough enough to realize that there was a house across the street with a doorbell camera and they caught it all.

    I think sometimes people try to be friendly when they make friends with someone at work and then they realize that it’s just a lot of commitment to be with somebody all day and then continue a friendship afterwards it’s too much lol it’s better to just keep a chill relationship relationship when you are at work and that’s it

  2. Unless talking with her is necessary to perform whatever job you’re doing, I don’t think it really matters if they talk to you or not.

    Now if you’re hoping their could be like a friendship or something more, and she’s ignoring you. Keep that to yourself cause it can get weird really quick.
