My point is EXACTLY like mcq316 stated. Being that the feeling IS usually mutual - - you can be respectful without trying to pretend like you are BEST of FRIENDS knowing good and well that you are just going to turn around and talk about the person behind their back. Some people go BEYOND a friendly nod or hello "FRONT'N" all in your face & in your business - - and YOU know that they KNOW they don't like you...

There is a difference between 'cordial' and 'respectful' in the workplace. Cordial has a 'nice' connotation to it, while 'respectful' is more emotionally neutral. Being crodial, nice, when you don't like some one is being two-faced, as you are likely cutting that person down when they aren't aound. Being respectful doesn't mean you have to like someone at all, but you both realize that each can do their job properly and you recognize the work the other is doing.

I currently work with someone I don't like, but I remain friendly for the simple fact that we still have to work together. It's not "fronting." It's called maintaining a decent work environment, because the two people who don't get along aren't the only ones who suffer - everyone else in the office suffers, too, if two people can't be civil to one another like grown adults.

When people who don´t like you, are just being cordial due to the working relationship...
... it is a way of respecting you, even though they don´t like you. Being cordial just means getting along in a way. If you don´t like your co-workers, there is no reason for you to be rude or mean or anything - just treat them politely so you all get along. Rules of the game, I haven´t made them. But you might need the jerky co-worker tomorrow to help you out, so don´t mess up your chances of getting help someday. ;)
Bottom line: yes, fronting - but common sense.

It's called acting in a mature manner. You aren't always going to like everyone with whom you work but it doesn't mean that you can't work together. Agree that you disagree and let it go. Smiling and nodding your head when you see each other is cordial and doesn't hurt.

I think most people know. They wouldn't need to be fake if you got along with one another, and dislike is usually mutual. Being cordial brings less drama, though, and who needs more of that?

work formalities suck, but they must exist...you have no idea how hostile a work environment can get and how stressful an insignificant problem can turn out
