How well do you interact at work? Isolate to avoid what you heard about your colleague or interact because you are a team player?
A case was narrated about one who after resuming in a new workplace was relieved of his job because he was always on his own and never volunteered information because he felt talking was going to expose him he came to mind his own business.
But when he was relieved of his job and had his exit interview one of the reasons was that he couldn't share much information and he must have been nursing something sinister or was racist. Was he shocked? Oh yes, he didn't see it coming so the question was what could he have done better because he was advised to mind his business?
Monday calls with the team always go something like this
How was your weekend?
It was great spending time with my family indoors.
Oh, you didn't go out?
No, I didn't. It was family time.
Week 2
You are taking your leave from work where do you intend to go for your break or holiday? You should engage and be genuine
It is bad advice in my opinion to isolate.
The goal of working on a team even if it is difficult is to integrate and have a human connection.
You can't keep isolating and expect to learn how to have difficult conversations or express yourself where you disagree
