I unfortunatEly work with an ex who has the emotional intelligence of a rock. normally I don’t have to work with him but schedules change and I work one day a week with him now. Which I thought I could handle without adversity. But he is being super passive Aggressive and trying to make my job harder. now all the stuff is minimal like throwing shit together and not organizing, and helping others but not helping me. As well as silent treatment and not listening. Honestly if it wasn’t work related I wouldn’t care, but for fucks sake I’m trying to do my job. Any tips on how to deal with passive agression from an ex, specifically in the workplace?

I'm not sure about the ex in a workplace part, but passive aggression can be dealt with by ignoring subtext and clearly calling out the behaviour.
Ex: "Steve, before you go mute, please remember to do/call/whatever before your shift ends"
Ex: "Steve, it looks like you're struggling with organizing product and need a refresher. I've arranged for ____ to come assist you"
Treat him like any other employee who isn’t doing their job. Document and report them
