I have been working at my current place of employment for 6 months now. i moved jobs as I felt I needed to try take my career to the next level. At my last place, a charity, I worked within marketing and considered myself to be fairly popular. I was always invited to socials and knew what was going on gossip wise. Now, I have a slightly more responsible position, also within marketing at a university but have not really been accepted as a team member. I am becoming paranoid that they don't like me. i just don't have a shared interest with anyone and never get invited to the pub. I think it is also because I am not passionate about my new position and also am knackered after commuting for nearly 2 hours in the morning, so maybe they think me disinterested? I tried baking a cake one day and bringing in cookies on other days, but it doesn't seem to work as each time I bring something in someone else seems to have brought something in to share and mine gets left :( I am very disheartened and trying to find a way through. Anyone got any ideas to brighten up my day? Sorry to offload on you. |

Have you tried speaking to your manager about it at all? Not getting invited down the pub sounds a bit malicious to me if everybody else is getting invited. If you're not happy in your position I do think you should talk to someone. I too recently felt as if I was getting left out at work and I spoke my mind about it even though I was very nervous about explaining how I felt.
I have since started to see improvements even in this short time. Don't suffer in silence! :) |
