Does anyone else deal with coworkers keeping you at a distance because the manager is really close to you? I know for a fact my manager is constantly talking to me because he's bored out of his mind, but the rest of the team thinks he's talking or asking questions about them. I want this to change!

I'm on the other side of this 😂. My manager doesn't seem to like me and has two favorites that I try to avoid because of it. Maybe it's not fair to them, but I don't need him to have another reason to dislike me.

If there is a lot of gossip already, I could see why this happens. Try to include the team when it makes sense, and just be honest and transparent about it. I’d appreciate it being addressed rather than swept under the rug.

Communication is key. Talk to them and eventually they’ll warm up to you.

lol maybe keep your manager at distant for a while so you can get to know the other coworkers. Maybe he’ll start conversing with someone else so you’re not the target.

That’s such a tricky dynamic. It’s frustrating when your relationship with a manager gets misread and affects how the team treats you. It’s not fair, but sometimes just staying consistent and professional can slowly ease the tension. Have you tried addressing it with the team directly or keeping boundaries clear?
