I need advice. We work in a super busy office doing essentially the same job. Coworker has one extra task that is not an everyday thing and I have several other tasks that should be done everyday. There are days where we are both so busy running the day to day that the extra tasks fall behind especially on my desk. I told them when they started that I rarely take my break and really it doesn’t bother me that I don’t. Honestly I would rather work through my 30 minute lunch than go sit somewhere alone for 30 minutes it doesn’t bother me at all and if I really need it sometimes I will. I told them not to feel guilty take your breaks do what you need to. They take days off here and there and most of it is for super legit reasons and I really don’t care. You have the time take it. We seemed to really get along at first. I don’t take a lot of days off that’s just the way it is. We get two months a year off so I usually take real vacations then and just do weekend stuff the rest of the year most of the time. When one of us is gone there is no getting anything done except trying to stay on top of the day to day. I never say anything that I feel like would make them feel guilty. I ask how the time off was. Tell them glad they had fun…stuff like that. The last year or so they have been giving off vibes that they don’t like me. I have heard whispering between them and other coworkers that make me feel like they don’t care for me. I am not the type of person who needs everyone to like me but we sit two feet from each other so it’s been awkward. The other day they told me I make them feel guilty for time off. Other than starting to take my breaks and time off like they do I don’t know how to make them not feel guilty…I truly don’t mean too. How do I fix this?
