Ive recently started a new job and have been getting on well with the new team. Another woman started at the same time and we have been getting on, supporting each other and I would have felt closest to her as we were doing the same things.
She was off last week sick and ive noticed since shes been back she's been very cold to me, almost ignoring me and giving one word answers when I ask her anything. I initially put it down to her still not being well but ive seen her laughing and joking with other members of the team throughout the day. Im really not sure if ive done something to annoy her. The only thing I can think of is I was talking to another colleague who had also called in sick last week and we were joking about different generations attitudes to sick leave. My DH thinks im being paranoid and just to leave it but I was thinking of maybe messaging her just to check how she's feeling maybe mention id noticed she wasnt her self and see if she needs anything? Or would that be too much? It really affected me the rest of the afternoon in work and I felt quite awkward chatting to the team with her there as she was clearly annoyed about something and I worry she will influence other people. She would be more of a dominant personality in the office and makes a point of getting involved in everything. Should I just ignore this and get on with work? Am I being unreasonable to message her to try and clarify whats going on?
