I don't know whether I'm hormonal or being sensitive or what but I'm currently on maternity leave with my 7 month old.
I've worked in an office with about 30 people for the past 5 years and get along with them all so well, we do things outside of work too.
In the work group chat, people have been talking about the Christmas work party (posh hotel, black tie, all expenses paid for etc) and I wasn't invited by management.
This morning I've seen all of the photos, including on colleagues social media accounts and just feel really tearful that management didn't invite me.
2 of the women I work with came to the Christmas do's when they were on maternity leave.
My manager isn't the easiest person to get on with, we have all clashed with her at different points at one time or another and I was signed off from about 5 months with hyperemesis, I was really really sick throughout my whole pregnancy.
AIBU to feel sad? I feel like emailing my manager to ask why I wasn't invited? She made it clear she was annoyed that I was signed off and hasn't contacted me since other than to return my matb1 form.
Things like this just make me not want to go back.
