I'm just cold with the person, why fake it. Faking it just hurts my soul and my self esteem and it's hard to fake. So just be cold to the person. He or she can't go bytch to HR about how you aren't being friendly and warm
Yes they can.
You aren't as cold as you think you are or people just don't pay you no mind.
I remember working in a hotel years ago with this miserable, evil, conniving white bytch as my supervisor. She and her cohort Annabelle would constantly break the rules with no regard but constantly try to get the black employees fired for doing the same which they had some success unfortunately.
Then came my time for her to try to pick on me. She constantly spread rumors of me not working thru so called jokes. "Where 4northside at?" "Oh he's sleep somewhere"
Another time I delivered towels to a room and came back to the back office. I overhear this dumbass exclaiming to everyone "how long does it take to deliver some towels!!!???" Stupid ass forgot their was a back door to the office so I just peeked out casually saying to her obviously not that long and she had that oh shyt expression all over her face trying to save grace by saying "I was just joking" with faked force laughter.
From that I decided to kill her self esteem thru passive aggressiveness. I would say hi to her in a cold monotonous depressive voice with a smile but made a point to become theatrical showing great excitement with fellow employees and guests in front of her.
She felt some type of way and would try to small talk me with open ended questions like "how's the family" and I reply back with one word answers in a cold callous tone like "good". She would nervously go on about her family and I would just stare at her like she was really stupid and reply back with short mmm's then cut her off by saying I really need to be working right now.
I got off seeing her dimishing self esteem, it was written all over her body when we crossed paths. This went on for a few weeks then I was finally called into the HR along with her. She bawled her eyes out with her grievances towards me.
