Hi. I’m that hater. Good job doing your job. Want me to roll out the red carpet every time I see you in the office from now on?
Maybe they haven’t been on shoots
If someone doesn’t heap praise upon you, they hate you?
Yep. At that point, aren’t you just upset that they aren’t a sociopath or sycophant? What if they’re neurodivergent or just don’t LOVE every one of OPs ideas?
You’re SO funny, and great, and smart, and perfect, OP! Love you!
I couldn’t say hello because I was too busy working but really I was just too DAZZLED by OP’s amazing new haircut!
Well, let’s see your haircut and then we talk.
I’m only like this when I can tell someone is a straight up narcissist and praising them just empowers their inner bully or hates anyone who doesn’t suck up 24/7.
I’ve worked with actual haters who tell you your ideas are dumb, you are dumb, twist everything you say to make you sound dumb to coworkers and then make hurtful jokes in front of coworkers. That’s an actual hater. Sounds like this person just doesn’t want to flatter you. Which is fine.
Yes I have. And then they celebrate everyone else but you. That’s the biggest red flag it’s something personal
It really sucks. Terrible feeling
What you are describing could be a run of the mill introvert. True haters ACTIVELY seek to undermine and subvert you at work or in line. All I'm hearing here is your ego isn't getting the dopamine hit or acknowledgement you want? Which really, not everyone needs to slobber all over each other, working at an agency isn't life in a fraternity or sorority.
OP I’m with you. This job is hard enough as it is, the least we can do is be pleasant to one another.
This is all I’m saying. It’s not about fishing for compliments. It’s about being a pleasant person to be around in this tense industry. Being an introvert has nothing to with this.
all of this and they’re usually QUICK to take offense if/when you match the energy
Hang a DO NOT DISTURB sign from their neck and carry on with your life.
IME it’s more like jealously than hate, but I know that you mean 👎🏼
lol ‘bring forth’
Bah! How darest you posit these eyes had not gazeth upon thou follicular adornments and that notice was not taken. Alas, such mild cranial improvements leave my expectations wanting. So into the night you shall go, shorn friend, and thou shalt not appear again until said locks done groweth back in the fairest of ways. Huzzah!
My AD was like this. I announced my pregnancy and everyone congratulated me except for her. Never said a word.
Omg. Stop. No one cares.
Hate is easy and free. But yes these kinds of people suck. Your joy probs brings them more misery so keep doing what you’re doing 👍😊
What if they are just neurodivergent?

Call me a hater, but does not showering you with attention really make one a hater?
I love the 50/50 spilt in here. I think it’s funny how one side looks at this like it’s about me not being flattered enough and the other side having real world experiences of what I’m saying.
What I said is what I’ve observed, doesn’t mean it has to be about me.
We’ve all worked someone who doesn’t like us. You either try to win them over, tune them out or find an explanation. Jealousy. Autism.
But we’ve also all worked with people who make an enemy of anyone who doesn’t praise their every move. The examples you’ve given aren’t that damming, so it’s hard to suss out who the jerk is in this situation without knowing you.
But your complaint boils down ‘some people don’t like me. Don’t be like that. Like me.’
That’s objectively a very funny complaint.
