So after many years off work due to illness I returned to work.part time last November. I wanted the money of course, but also hoped to meet some friends as I had become very isolated and lost a lot of my confidence being ill for so long.
Anyway started the job, nervous, but settled in ok. The job is a domicallary (home) carer by the way. I missed the work xmas party due to a filling falling out which I was a bit annoyed about, but hey ho.
At the start of this year I was assigned a new team leader. My old team leader did not slag her off, sort of more she is a bit odd, you will see for yourself. Had a couple of oddish encounters with her and sort of came to the conclusion that she is possibly on the spectrum so communicates a bit differently to others. Anyway I thought everything had settled down. She invited me to drinks for her 40th bday. At first I said no as I was working that night, but then asked if I could come after work. Sure she said she wasn't sure of details but would let me know. About a week before the bday drinks we got 3 other members new to the team, it was just me and her before. She posted on our group WhatsApp that everyone was welcome, it would be good for us to.use the opportunity to meet each other. The other girls didnt answer whether they wanted to go or not. I again said I would like to go to which she responded will definately let you know where we are etc.
Look on her Facebook today and there are photos of her out with other girls who work for the company. None of the new girls in our team were there. AIBU to be really upset by this? I just feel really left out and like there is somethingwrong with me. I am not sure what to do. Whether to ask to move team or if that is just petty. We are in our 40s believe it or not. I have made a couple of cracks to her today whilstmessaging her about work eg I hope your hangover was not too bad yesterday.
Advice welcomed please. I feel like I am back in high school.
