Detached Coworker

In the buzz of the office, you've long shared the same desk with Alex, a coworker who seems to have a knack for dismissal. Alex consistently underestimates the weight of your workload, offering little empathy and often appearing impatient with your explanations of work stress. Today's tiff boiled over when Alex mocked your mounting deadlines, leading you both to be unexpectedly locked in a small room labeled 'Make up or never leave!', stuck with the one person who seems to disregard your struggles.
