Weird guy on our floor
Hey guys,
So there's a guy who sits near our bull pen who is in a different team. This guy is starting to really bother me and a bunch of other girls on our floor. He's not harass-y or creepy, he just acts too comfortable. Whenever he sees any of us, even if we avoid eye contact, he will wave and come over and give us a hug. He also likes just walking over to where we are sitting and tries to make small-talk when we are clearly just not interested.
I guess, partly we are to blame too because when we joined he seemed normal and alright and was the one of the only extroverted people so we would hangout with him more and became friends. But after constantly hearing about his girlfriend problems, how much his shoes cost and meaningless crap about what he's working on, everyone is literally beyond exhausted. I'm really good at telling guys to fuck off, but that's at bars to people I don't know and it's really awkward for me to straight up say what everyone is thinking because literally every single girl on the floor keeps hinting at the fact that none of us are interested in any kind of friendship with him and he doesn't see it.
Any recs?
Keep bumping this post til he sees it
Had something similar except it was in our group. Had an analyst who absolutely couldn't fit in. Everyone hated her, and she definitely knew it yet continued on. One of those things you just can't change without breaking the office Cold War.
Just say "Sorry, I'm really jammed" and turn back to your computer
If you're walking in his direction, just smile and nod and don't stop walking. If he tries to stop you, you're late to meet someone, have a meeting about to start, or the tech guy is remoted into your computer and you need to get back to it
Just cool it off a bit. He probably doesn't have many friends and you guys clearly previously made an effort to befriend him, so you can't just go off on him (it's also unprofessional). Be polite just add some distance
not really, he has a ton of friends - or so he implies + what we see. To be clear, this isn't some nerdy extra-nice wholesome kid, this is a chad who objectifies many things and women in front of us but still continues to act this way. Only explanation I can give is that he has 0 EQ and just doesn't understand how everyone can see how annoying it is except him.

Of all the complaints you could have about someone in IB, being too friendly is your issue? Let's just say I'm not very sympathetic lol, and that's putting it nicely.
Being a “where’s my hug” dude is not being friendly, it’s fucking weird
Lol OP literally said he's not creepy, he just talks to them. That's the kinda person I want on my team, not someone who would go on WSO to complain that they have a friendly colleague in an industry notorious for a-holes.
