🕒 If they corner you during breaks or downtime:
Them: “You got any weekend plans?”
You:

“Just keeping things low-key. Anyway — did you get a chance to finish that report?”

---

🔁 If they keep coming back, repeatedly:

“Hey, I know you like to chat, but I’m really trying to keep things strictly work-related while I’m here. Appreciate your understanding.”

---

🙅‍♂️ If they don’t take the hint:
Use a boundary directly but calmly.

“I don’t mean to be rude — I’ve just set a personal boundary to only talk work during work hours. It helps me stay focused.”

Such bad advice chatgpt gave here

I always like to correct it by saying, "can you be less reddity/less cringe" and it proceeds to answer with something even worse
