How do you connect with someone who has a hard shell?

My manager is the type of person to get to work, get the day over with, and go home. He hardly says a word at all, all day. Even when I joke with him, it's mostly just, "Yeah... ha... okay."

I've mostly just been leaving him alone when I can but is there any way to connect with him?

You don't have to connect with him lol. Tbh I don't mind it when people are quiet...the most important thing is that he instructs you properly, and that whatever tasks you have aren't too boring. Before I started the job I have now, I hated being in a workplace with a "slow" pace. I liked working in fast environments because then you could just get on with it.

@SW-User Preferring a fast paste work environment is a sign of being a sociopath. 🤔

@SW-User 😂 A sociopath likely would prefer it but I was joking. You're not one.
