Alright, how to approach this...
Today a team member came up to me with an issue (btw, I'm a Team Member) talking about an issue with another team member that they just had. This team member, we'll call him team member A, didn't seem overly distraught about the situation, but obviously had some level of concern if he was talking to me about it. Apparently a few nights ago when he was outside waiting to be let in to the store, team member B walked to the door to let whoever was in only to notice it was team member A. He proceeded to stand there and just stare for a few moments, until he walked away without letting team member A in.
Flash forward to today, team member A greeted team member B whom was told promptly that "...you're dead to me". This is when team member A came up to me to talk about it, asking if I had ever experienced similar situations with team member B. From there, he proceeded to talk more and more about what I just talked about. I'm not sure if the two are just in some argument or what. I'm also not really sure why it's being brought to my attention and not either a TL, ETLs, or even a HR. Maybe because it really isn't too much of an issue, that its just some argument about nothing and this is how team member B is acting and team member A just needed some way to vent or talk about it, so he chose me? He explained to me why maybe team member B is acting this way, but he wasn't even really sure as to the real cause or reason.
My dilemma I have now is, I've been told this information. I'm not sure if it was to be private or not and I'm not entirely sure how critical the situation really is. Obviously team member A felt something, but he didn't seem to act like it was an exceptional issue that he couldn't handle. Do I just let this go? Should I speak with my ETL or HR? I have a sense that if I bring this issue up with either of them, they will do a follow up which either A: Team member A never wished to have done or B: They will probe either team member A or B for additional information and possibly amplify the situation further then it needed to be.
I don't want to feel like I'd be some nark, but the situation is...yea, heh. I'm not even sure. It's on my mind, clearly.
Maybe I'm just in disbelief because someone came up to me with such a problem with another team member...
I'm not sure...
Advice? Comments?
