My manager hasn't spoken a word to me in four days because I asked for a deadline extension. I can see her chatting and laughing with everyone else on the team, but when I enter the room, the temperature literally seems to drop. It’s this weird, middle-school level of passive-aggression that makes me feel like I’m walking on eggshells every second I’m at my desk. Has anyone else dealt with a boss who uses the silent treatment as a way to punish employees for setting basic boundaries?

Try not to let it get to you. Their behavior is their own baggage. It may be a test to see if you’ll cave. Don’t. The earlier you set boundaries, the better!

Sounds like you work for a trash manager, look for a better job.
