Nearly a year in the (small) team. Still made to feel 'new' and out of place. The other new (ish) person is quite loud and brash, hard to ignore. Increasingly, when members of the team talk and I try to take part, I am rarely consulted, and even rarely acknowledged.
At a meeting the other day, the other new colleague leant across the table, talking loudly, commanding attention and utterly ignoring me except when she wanted to be downright rude. No-one said anything.
I asked her, after the meeting, why she'd felt the need to ignore me and make disparaging remarks, and she muttered something about being irritated by me and how she, as a 'doer', likes to make things happen. DH thinks she was fishing for excuses at this point.
So it goes on - I'm easy to get on with, work hard, not had such problems before but in this small office, it's ghastly. Would walk but very much need the income. Manager never comes near any of us and is self-obsessed which leave this team of apparent equals to run itself, with unhappy results for me. Perhaps this only leaves HR to turn to for morale support, advice and to record just how bad things have got?
AIBU to wish I could be excepted and respected at work?
