In the interests of full disclosure I'm 8 months pregnant and could quite possible be being a hormonal mess, it's not uncommon so entirely prepared to hear that iabu but...
I work in a place where I have a "team" of sorts, 4 people who work with me in close quarters, it's not an easy job and I'm not their manager, we have one of those!
I've had a very difficult pregnancy and they've been great, some more than others but they've all been accepting that I can't do parts of my role as well as I could pre pregnancy. I've been off work for the past six weeks due to complications and won't be returning to work before my mat leave as I'm too "high risk" now, so I popped in before Christmas with some presents for them, spent about £20 on each of them which is substantial for me as I don't have a lot of spare cash but I dont grudge it.
I haven't had a thanks/merry Christmas/acknowledgement from any one of them and I'm a bit miffed. I put a lot of though into the gifts and know they got them, haven't even had a fb message or anything and I'm a bit put out.
So am I being irrational and unreasonable given that they work really hard and it was as much a token of my appreciation as anything else? hit me with it
