Am I being salty for no reason? Lol

Idk, maybe I’m just in my feelings, but I just started working in a new department (not my choice) at my job. I was familiar with them, but not really. I would pick up here and there to help them out when their staff was short, and they didn’t like me then and they don’t like me now. They loved the lady that used to work here full time before me and now that she moved to a different department they’ve been giving me a cold shoulder (like it was my fault they moved me 🙄). Anyway, the day I started here, I overheard the director of the department basically saying that she’s not supporting the change at all and won’t be helping me with my transition, so ok whatever, fuck you too then lol. I’m just here for the paycheck, no one has to like me I just expect respect, that’s it. Let me just mention that this was a move from the higher ups bc of budget issues (for a whole month I thought I was going to lose my job, which whatever, I’m looking for a new job anyway) so my manager is trying to find way to not have to be much of a manager and can focus on other things. It’s the holidays and the department is doing all these fun festive things and leaving me out. Like today, they’re having a holiday party/lunch and I wasn’t included. My manager is having a holiday party and didn’t include me and I’m in my feelings. I guess it sucks to suck. But idk I just feel sad bc not being liked for just existing is tough….I dont expect to be liked by everyone but it does play with my head and emotions bc what’s the problem? I’ll never know….I’m off the rest of the week after today so fuck em 😅🤷‍♀️

I’m so feeling this today. Why don’t they like me, can’t I be liked for simply existing? Ugh.

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."
