"She met him at work, and he has been known to jump from woman to woman there. I've heard that her fiancé will date women in his office and then all of a sudden start ignoring them-speaking to everyone around them but giving them the silent treatment.

In February they went on vacation together, broke up after"
"You have thoroughly convinced me that your friend is making a bad decision (and works at one of the most badly managed offices of all time). I imagine that's fairly cold comfort, because you are trying to convince your friend that she is making a bad decision, and all the agreement from all the strangers in the world doesn't seem likely to sway her from her course.

A woman became engaged to a man she has dated less than a year after meeting at work. The man reportedly cycles through coworkers, ignoring and giving the silent treatment, prompting at least one resignation and leaving another woman working beside him after a breakup.
