Not a huge deal, just a bit annoying.
I am a nurse assistant in hospital but often do clinics where I'm working with doctors. Some doctors also have colleagues with them, usually those still training who are observing.
My job is to assist the doctors such as cleaning the bed, helping the patients undress if needed, cleaning the equipment after use, reassuring the patient if anxious, filling in some paperwork and I chaperone so I'm with the patients throughout.
The doctors always introduce themselves and their colleagues. They never introduce me. It makes me quite uncomfortable. My job is clearly not skilled but is it ok to treat me as I'm not there at all?
Strangely enough, if I'm assisting doctors in emergency medicine they do make a point of finding out my name and introducing me as well.

AIBU?
WIBU to introduce myself when the doctors I'm working with don't bother?
