May 27, 2016 at 14:57 comment added Jon Story @DJClayworth that depends whether the "making amends" is genuine or merely face value/point scoring. "The Jerk" will often make a public show of being civil/friendly, but without knowing what the original disagreement was, and the other interactions, it's impossible for anyone else to really understand what's happening/happened and whether that civility is enough to leave past events behind. At the end of the day, to some people, some actions are simply unforgivable.
May 26, 2016 at 19:11 comment added DJClayworth @Peter Against this is "Coworker B has even tried to make amends and even say hello". It's very rare that the person trying to make amends is the jerk.
May 26, 2016 at 18:28 comment added Peter @DJClayworth I'll take a guess that the situation resulted because (at least) one of them learned that treating the other person civilly was not worth the effort. If people reach this stage, there's no point in trying to fix things between them.
