The company director was offering out tokens of appreciation today as we close for 4 days. Usually in the last 3 years I’ve always received a note on my desk to say “well done and thanks for all your hard work” I’ve always always got one. I keep hold of them in my work drawer as a reminder for the difficult days.
This time, I didn’t get one but my other 2 people in the department did. And so did a few others. I was more upset about this than I realised, I came home crying. I’ve tried my level best lately and I took a few more things on lately too and I’ve been doing my best to get it all right.
One of the other men in the team said he got nothing either but said “you’ve been here longer though so I understand why you’re upset about it”
I don’t know if I’ve offended the director some how or if I’ve done something to someone somewhere, all I remember saying, and the worst thing was “I woke up knackered this morning and though oh eff this when my alarm went off” and I didn’t know he was in the room but we all think that from time to time.
Im super upset. Aibu?
