      She ratted out some of my co workers about something they said about the boss. Didn’t go over well. The moment she was moved to a different department it was as if the clouds lifted and the sun started to shine.
      People also treated me a lot better. It took me a moment that they thought for months I was the snake due to the actual snake because I just got along with management. She got fired in the end when she burned through departments after departments.

And I have stuck that boundary ever since. I made that promise to myself 4 years ago. Th same day that happened I started a new job. I am known at the b at work because I refuse to go to any work events or engage in any small talk with my coworkers. I am kind and cordial but I don’t go the extra mile in getting to know anyone at work. Anytime there is a work project I always request to work alone. It has worked out wonderfully for me because it keeps me out of the workplace drama and it has helped me with my mental health. People do talk about me a lot but that is there issue not mine.

Im the exact opposite, I stay to myself and focus on work.So many coworkers and customers alike have made comments about how reserved I am. That told me I’m doing exactly what i need to do. My position is solitary and they still try to squeeze anything they can out of me during shift exchange. I ask them to get straight to business before they even have the chance to ask anything now 😂

    One main thing I've come to do of late with co-workers is, no matter what they disclose about themselves to the work team or me individually be it what they're going to do on their time off or things about their household, I MAKE IT A POINT NOT to ask any questions and/or follow up questions about it. WHY? It's because I don't want them to ask me ANYTHING personal in return. One day while I was in the room alone with the trainer (which I dread being alone with a manager or trainer because they want to start in on asking personal questions) she asked, "So... do you have any little ones?" My response was a one response "No." Do I have kids? Yes... I actually do... but I didn't lie either... they're not "little." Lol, my kids are age 22 and 17 going on 18. The thing is, those questions would lead down to more questions... "Oh ok how old are your kids?" "What? How old are you?" "Wow...and you're married? How long have you been married for?" Yeah... I just don't want to bother. If it comes to that, I'd rather be as bold yet pleasant as one co-worker that I worked with elsewhere was by responding "Well, I don't like talking about my personal life." Really, unless it's something trivial like the fact that I like shoes though even those "You're always dressed up and all your shoes... how many pairs of shoes do you have?" I laugh it off and give a "thank you" response.

My response has been just discussing the different departments I worked in within the same sector before transferring to current department.... WORK RELATED. Anything personal like "What does everyone have planned for the weekend?" My response "Nothing" OR I mix it up with "Nothing much... maybe just the usual catching up on rest and errands." For all they know, I am going to an evening event or taking a road trip to a different state or shopping myself silly for more stylish clothes I like to wear to the office... and then I'd come back on Monday ready for the "How was your weekend? What did you do?" questions with my response being "Fine... nothing" In order to get managers to stop asking all together I've said "I don't do much... I'm just pretty laid back and boring."
