Take this to hr, they can't have a holiday party and specifically exclude you. How petty.
@Bonny I’m not sure if it’s even worth it honestly…. Even though it sucks being excluded, I personally don’t want to be around ppl that don’t want me around….
I'd definitely go to HR. If theyre already having budget/staffing issues, it may even lead to them getting rid of the petty people and you keeping your job instead!
Not helping the transition is not respecting you neither the company and it’s very unprofessional. I do agree you should build your case with HR, so at least they have reasons to hate you xD
It may not feel worth it right now, but you'll want this on record. It's a matter of time before they start to criticize your performance. Also, it's good to let them know you are willing to make a bit of a stink. The best way not to do this after every holiday and team lunch is to say something the first time that happens. Not that you can't say something later, but doing it now sends a message of "don't pull that crap with me."
I’m so feeling this today. Why don’t they like me, can’t I be liked for simply existing? Ugh.
