personality conflict
Mutual personal friction
A personality conflict is friction between people whose temperaments, communication styles, or values clash.
The term often appears in workplace contexts to explain why colleagues don't get along: HR said it was just a personality conflict, not harassment.
It can sound euphemistic—a way to avoid assigning blame or addressing deeper issues.
