Or they’re introverted, weird and shy.

What’s weirder is when you work on a project with an account person / strategist / producer for 6 months, go through the wringer together and then once the project is done they walk past you like you’ve never met before

Yes, that’s one of the oddest things.

I like being weird, builds character.

I don’t think it’s weird. It’s networking but doesn’t necessarily mean they need to be social

I think it’s kind of odd. Even if a person is introverted, a simple nod or wave isn’t going to kill them. They’re “social” enough for a business social network, and work in a professional setting. It’s something of a common courtesy to acknowledge a coworker. You don’t need to have an in-depth conversation, but being polite is a good practice. And to the person who commented, “I don't think it's weird. It's networking but doesn't necessarily mean they need to be social”, I think you’re absolutely wrong. Networking is all about building relationships. I don’t really want people in my network if they are only interested in using me as a stepping stone. No thanks. If that’s your attitude, then that’s cool, but don’t expect me to be receptive to your requests for help in building your career.

Maybe not for you. Says a lot about you. The best networking is always about the people and the working relationships you build.

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
