[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience, "obliviousness" is a tactic used by individuals under a lot of stress. There are cases where a person is truly oblivious to events around them, but I think in most cases, she/he knows that the work environment has changed, she is being shut out, heavily criticized, ignored, whatever. There often isn't a way to fix the issue, so the person hopes that by keeping her head down, the issue will blow over. And sometimes it does blow over because the issue becomes a non-issue or more information comes to light that takes the person out of the firing line. [/quote] Obliviousness is the sane thing to do under the circumstances. There is zero upside to showing fear, stress, vulnerability in a situation like this. OP's colleague is very likely applying and interviewing for jobs. [/quote]
