[quote=Anonymous]This happened to me at WORK. I was given the silent treatment by a co-worker. Very strange. I've been in the workforce 29 years and never had this happen. When people do stuff like this, they are acting out using the very tools they learned as a child. My co-worker was upset and her "go-to" was the silent treatment. I'm guessing she grew up in a family where this was an accepted response to conflict. She does this with others, but I had never been on the receiving end. She is thawing now and talking to me a little, three months later. Very bizarre and I cannot imagine going through life doing that to people. No one in my family of origin does this, nor does my husband. It's such a strange response, especially in a work setting, and it's totally learned behavior. Family systems theory was the most helpful class I took years ago. You can see this multi-generational stuff play out, even in the workplace. [/quote]
