Dear Dr. Mimi

I have a colleague who continues to be rude to me. She never says hello or goodbye, and
when I do, she doesn’t respond. What should I do?

Dear Snubbed,
If these are the only indicators of rudeness, I suggest living with it! She may be a quiet
person who doesn’t need to exchange pleasantries. If it affects your work, let her know the
impact it is having and what you need from her to get your work done.
