What should I do?

Question

I work with a coworker with whom I have a bad past with. A few years ago, he harassed my friends and I until we turned him and his friend in. Now he works with me. Well, my coworkers all know we don't like each other (and before you ask, I don't know WHY he harassed my friends and I) but our bosses told both of us to cooperate during work hours. At first, we were just super polite to each other, then he started being a bit TOO nice. Like going out of his way to help me, coming up to me to chat. I know his character and I think he's up to something. ESPECIALLY when one of his friends who also harrassed us, who does not work with us, started being nice to me as well. I don't want to bring it to my manager's attention because I really have no evidence, except experience, to back up my suspiccions. So. What should I do?

And to answer # 3, I have been being nice in return. I too was warned to be nice but I only respond in kind.

Answer 1

Do not report him to your supervisor for being too nice. Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? People will be saying he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

Instead, be just as nice in return. He may be up to no good, as you suspect, or he may be being nice to keep his job. Since he has a friend involved, he's probably doing the latter. He may have enlisted the help of his friend because he knows everything he says and does will be scrutinized and circulated by you. So, to keep his job, yet maintain control, he and his friend are being so nice that it's causing you concern, thereby, his positive behavior can be construed as covert harassment.

That being said, you need to change your attitude, just as he did. Kill him with kindness. Make HIM wonder what YOU'RE up to. That will give you back the power, and all of these exchanges of "niceties" will alleviate the stress you've both created in the past for yourselves and your coworkers.

Remember the adage, "The best way to get rid of an enemy is to make him your friend."

Answer 3

wait for a while and see how long this goes. if he's trying to be too nice you can say something is wrong. he is probably trying to gain your trust and than you know take his revenge on you for turning him in. i suggest you keep your distance from him. dont give him your number and address. in short, make sure he doesnt stalk you.if anything's going out of hands, go to the police NOT YOUR BOSS. the police. good luck (:
