How You Can Tell a Coworker Hates You
I've realized in life you won't be like by everyone. And as much as you may try there is just something in a person that wires them to not like you, and you can't change anything about it.
This bleeds into all aspects, including the workplace. Sometimes the person makes it super obvious and you should stay away for the better.
And sometimes it's not obvious. This is where this post comes in. Here's what I noticed over the many, many years in the workforce:

You can sit right next to them, walk down the hallway the same time as them, or even be on the same email as them. They just rather not acknowledge you are a physical being living on the same planet as them.

You Are Never Asked To Join In On 'Water Cooler Talk'
Nothing feels worse than being isolated, especially from downtime. You watched the same game as them, or TV show the night before so why can't you join in on the conversation?

If they even cared just a tiny bit they would ask about something regarding your personal life. We'll even take minimal effort like asking the well-being of our cat or if Aunt Tilly's toe fungus was getting better.
