While some people have no problem letting you know that they hate you, others may try to maintain their professionalism by hiding their unpleasant feelings.
Know some of the obvious and less-obvious indications of dislike by reading thru this list!
#1: HE OR SHE DOES NOT SMILE WHEN YOU ARE AROUND
As you pass by, the shinning smile on your colleague’s face dissolves instantaneously. The change in his or her disposition is not due to a hormonal mood swing or an occasional unpleasant day. It is deeper than that! Something is wrong as your colleague makes a conscious effort to not smile whenever you are in the room.
#2: HE OR SHE CANNOT LOOK YOU IN THE EYE
One of the most obvious signs that you co-worker dislikes you is when he or she cannot maintain eye contact. The eyes are the gateway to what is beneath your soul. People may be afraid to look you in the eye if they perceive that you have an ability to detect hostility.
#3: HE OR SHE DOES NOT INCLUDE YOU IN THE WORKPLACE HUMOR
Exchanging jokes and teasing are common in cemented workplace relationships. If the person who hates your guts is the leader of the workplace clique then, you may be constantly left out in the inner circle. They may not feel comfortable when you are around.
#4: HE OR SHE DOES NOT INVITE YOU TO SOCIAL EVENTS
Being excluded from the social guest list is one of the signs that your colleague does not want you around. “Sorry! We forgot to invite you.”, may be one of the lines that you constantly hear from that certain person.
#5: HE OR SHE DISPLAYS NEGATIVE BODY LANGUAGE
Communication is mostly made up of non-verbal cues. Uncover your co-worker’s genuine feelings toward you by observing his or her body language. Constant subtle eye rolls, lack of eye contact, and folded arms are just some of the red flags.
#6: HE OR SHE TAKES CREDIT FOR YOUR WORK
When a co-worker is determined to exclude you from all the important company discussions, it is clear that he or she does not want you to get involved. A more potent display of disdain is when a co-worker sabotages your role in the project by taking credit for your ideas.
