In today's Miss Manners column, advice columnist Judith Martin responds to a professor wanting to distance themselves from a coworker. You can send your questions to Miss Manners through her email, [email protected] MISS MANNERS: I teach remotely at a university in my hometown, while currently living in a different state. The politics of my department are deeply unhealthy, and the toxic environment has brought me closer to another junior staff member.
Rather, there was a lot of complaining about how unwell she felt, about her various health complications, about other issues in her life, degrading comments about the state where we live -- a general stream of negativity. Now what do I do at work? I’m so turned off by the lack of regard she showed as a houseguest and the way she spoke to her husband that I’m not sure I can go back to our office banter and support. I want to create distance, but not upset the apple cart.
