Can someone cast some light on why a particular colleague denies knowing something when she does?
I have a colleague who I spend a lot of time through work with. I’ve also attended her birthday parties and met her wider friends/partner/ been to her home. I would consider her a good work colleague/friend.
But there’s one thing that bugs me. She will sometimes deny knowledge of a matter/information/gossip for no apparent reason. When I know she 100% has information on something mundane such as whether X colleague is leaving for Y firm; or whether Z colleague is still dating Q colleague; or did V colleague get the promotion.
These are all things that we’d discuss and she’d usually openly talk about or ask me for information on. But then suddenly she will say she doesn’t know something when others tell me she does know or had just discussed the same matter with them. Am I dealing with a 🐍?
