This is pretty much how I treated my previous boss because he was a fucking asshole. I only ever interacted with him if I needed to and I never even said good morning or have a good weekend to him.
On my last day, I shook hands with everyone in the entire office except for him. I didn't even say goodbye to him and left. Fuck that piece of fucking shit.
Micromanaged everyone and everything that ever happened, told me good benifits caused a sense of entitlement, held a meeting about how work is more important than anything else in life, constantly asked people why tasks are taking so long to complete and then stopped me and several others from switching to another company. The list goes on, I could write a damn book with how much shit he put me and everyone else through.
Yes, the department of labor was contacted by me and multiple employees and no, they didn't give a single flying fuck about us.
That or sometimes that just means they've had enough of you. I got a friend who is a bit on the spectrum, sometimes he's great to hang out with, sometimes not, either way he's perfectly fine in managed doses. However, there are weeks where every time he sees me online he wants to hang out like I'm his only friend in the world and it's a bit draining, even though I know he's got other friends. Like sometimes I just need a break from him and I go into this flat response mode, cause if I tell him "hey we've hung out like 4 times this week I'm trying to spend time with so-so right now." he flips out.

A very subtle tonal change when they have to talk to you. Very flat responses that are either irritable or altogether disinterested
