My technical manager and a Business Development person from my office have differences. They have complained about each other to the senior management. They are indulged in office politics and aiming to knock each other down by some way.
Sometime ago the BD person tried to know the internal working of the team I work in. He wanted to know team members opinion about our manager, to which I denied to provide any details.
Now, my manager asks me not to even talk with the BD person. He is really concerned while he is out of office that the BD person would again approach me or other team members . All these things are happening unofficially. Both of them are talking these things either face to face or over a phone call with me. Neither of them has sent any message or email regarding these communications to me.
What shall I do in such situation?
What if BD person again approaches me? Can I tell him that I have been instructed not to discuss anything with him?
Shall I approach HR? (This would really piss my manager off)
