I recently started a new job. I realized my first day of onboarding in the office (interviews were Zoom) that I hooked up with my now boss in college. I didn’t mention it but I think they realized it too. Now they’ve created a semi-hostile work environment… 🙃

If you’re ready to leave, why not try to address the issue directly? Since they are your boss in a corporate setting, they might be uncomfortable with the reputational damage you are capable of enacting against them. Also makes for weird power dynamics if you are their direct report.

The goal is to communicate that it’s irrelevant whether you knew each other in a previous chapter of your life. You’re in the present and as your boss you want create mutual support which will help you work effectively in this role.

I need more details

Only once, set up by a mutual friend at a party or something and even if you asked me what their name was then, I wouldn’t have remembered it. We both knew what it was. But as soon as I saw them in person it was a “oh shit” moment in my mind. See below comment for what’s making it hostile.

Wait, how would they know?

Definitely a weird vibe from them. Short and aggressive manner in conversations. Won’t answer any question directly, help strategize or pick up the phone when I call when I’m WFH but will promptly send a “what?” Slack message as the call gets missed. And same with the team.

like

Did you end it or did the other person end it? There’s always one person that fizzles it out. Or was it mutually agreed that neither wanted to hook up again?

That’s very awkward. Wish you knew who your boss or hiring manager was before you took the job. Can you transfer to a different position or department?

Hi,
I interviewed for ACON position in Knowledge & Insights team. It's now 5 6 business days still no update from HR on anything. Should I just assume that my candidature is not moving forward?

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?
