I hate the passive aggressiveness in Japan.
I'm a 30 year old woman working in the entertainment industry.
I have a female Japanese coworker who's a full-time general admin staff who has up and stopped talking to me for a few months now.
We actually used to be on quite friendly terms although she treats me like an enemy now. I don't know what happened, I barely even work with her.
Unfortunately, she's quite popular in the office and has been there for a long time.
At first I thought I could handle her silence/passive aggressiveness by just focusing on my work.
I have also not been interested in making amends with her since I now know she a nasty person who pulls stunts like this, and that's why I'm just trying to focus on my work instead.
However, she keeps amping up her passive aggressiveness. She full on doesn't talk to me and now when we have meetings with clients/partners she singles me out by not bringing me tea while she gives everyone else one.
I have found the whole situation extremely bizarre. Normally, I would talk to someone, but our office is quite toxic in general and my Japanese boss has a high temper and doesn't usually like to get involved in drama. I don't want to make the situation worse.
Any advice? Sigh v.v
