A couple months ago. Had a coworker out of nowhere call me passive aggressive because he asked me to do a work-related task to which I responded "no" because I was working on something for a patient, and I wasn't going to start another task until I finished that one. There's nothing passive aggressive about a "no" imo. He apologized for the fit he threw that day and blamed it on his frustrations with recent management decisions (which has nothing to do with me as a NEW employee). The irony is he was truly passive aggressive to me a few weeks later when I informed him of a time-sensitive patient sample he was responsible for and he spitefully muttered under his breath "ok there's no need to micromanage." Man is like 40 btw
