[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I should note that this team lead has had issues with other colleagues. So no one was shocked that he had an issue with me. [/quote]

PP. That's good to hear that it's not just you. So then stick to this manner with him and be your normal self with others.[/quote]

I had a similar scenario with a coworker. I am normally friendly and laid back. Being completely businesslike to everyone like some PPs suggest may sound good on paper but the reality is that it is not good EQ.

Anyway, this person has had issues with most of our team and has gone to HR about half of them. I was the most recent target. I scaled back everything I write/say/do to be extremely dry and professional. Can't risk something being taken the wrong way. It's completely obvious that my demeanor has changed, and you know what - good. Actions have consequences. Going to HR about every little thing with every single person leads to people distancing themselves from you.

So yes, OP. We are being a little petty. But over-distancing is better than giving them fodder for more complaints.[/quote]
