Can actually be quite challenging as a passive aggressive individual can be difficult to pin down. I especially like your point around assuming push back is coming from a benign intent – at least they care enough to do something. The hardest situations to resolve are often the true “passive” aggressive’s that just don’t care. Either they have checked out or assume that the change will go away “like it has in previous failed attempts”.

Another angle on passive aggressive is the passive aggressive organisation. I found this HBR article quite useful: https://hbr.org/2005/10/the-passive-aggressive-organization
