32 People Avoidance Tactics That Every Introverted Coworker Can Get Behind

When an introvert gets promoted to a managerial position, it's a bittersweet moment. While they'll be taking home a little more money, they're also sacrificing their ability to completely avoid every single coworker at the office. As an introvert, it pays to fly under the radar, but as a manager, you're front and center in the eye-line of every needy employee, every shift-switcher, and every Karen at the front asking for special attention. 

People-ing gets exhausting, folks. 

So if you're an introvert who's found themselves in a leadership role at work, it can be almost impossible to avoid constant chit chat and social demands, but for the introvirtuous online, they've found ways to cope that can recharge any introvert's social battery. Scroll to read more tactics and skills that any employee can foster if they wish to push back against the social advances in the workplace. Just know that if someone asks you to eat lunch with them, you can (and must) say no. 

Lunches are sacred.
