I've been promoted within my company, its a large company with offices all over. I'm moving from my current office to HQ in the city. Its a role I've been waiting to come up for ages and I'm very excited about it.
My colleagues in my current job haven't been too nice though. A few of them said 'congrats', 'well done', but the majority haven't said a thing. I've had more silence of snide comments than congrats TBH. For example:
team leader: I'm going to have to find someone to take on all your responsibilities, as if I didn't have enough to do
colleague 1: you need to start clearing your desk (this was when I still had a month to go before starting)
colleague 2: were you the only candidate?
colleague 3: when do you finish? (keeps asking me even though I've told her, like she's making a point?)
Quite a number of people have left that office. Not because of bullying or anything like that, they've either been promoted or requested a transfer to somewhere closer to home.
My issue is that when each of these people have left, they got leaving cards, leaving presents, balloons attached to desk, banners across their computer, a leaving lunch or night out arranged, one of them got f*cking LOADS of presents and a poem read out about how wonderful she is.
What do I get? sweet f*ck all. Not a card. Not a leaving present. Nothing.
I know I'm still within the company but so are all the above colleagues so that's not really an excuse.
I honestly do not think I have done anything to upset anyone. I thought we got on okay but in the past year, even before this promotion came up, one or two colleagues in particular have made me feel uncomfortable, just nit picking, patronising etc.
In my head I'm imagining sending a "thanks for the leaving present" card. I may one day return to that office and I don't want to return to such behaviour.
AIBU to be angry and upset?
