Or any kind of 'good wishes' message from my boss (indeed any message at all in any way from him!) or from my 'team', following surgery to remove damaged lumbar spine disc? It was planned, but the timing was short. I am off for 4wks plus, depending on recovery.
I know cards or good wishes are not compulsory, but, they are good for morale aren't they? It just tells me, which I suspected, that my team are pissed off with my absence, as I have had time off already due to long term back problems. But, it's been no secret, I also go into work in agony sometimes to try not to let my team down, I know I am a burden not an asset, but that is the point of this surgery, to improve my health so it no longer controls my life - so, although not just done for work purposes, they will of course benefit as I will in time have less time off due to back problems (here's hoping).
I have just received my payslip in the post. It get's sent to my place of work, and has been forwarded on to me, put in an envelop. So, someone put it in the envelop, sealed it, wrote my address on it. Not even a scrap of paper inside with good wishes. So, they have my address, so it's not that they don't know where to send it either.
I have felt the crisp atmosphere of my 'team' already, but hoped maybe, maybe my 11 years today service would mean I was missed a little bit. This used to be my career and now it is pretty clear it's just a job.
AIBU to be sad? DH says I should not have expected one, and, I didn't really, I am not surprised. I was hoping I would be pleasantly surprised. But I still can't help feeling a bit sad about it.

To be upset that I didn't get a Get Well Card?
