AIBU to be upset with work colleagues?

[PhyllisNights]

It was my last day in the office today. I'm now officially on maternity leave.

I'm very disappointed with what my colleagues arranged for my send off, though. They promised we would do something exciting. I was expecting a work baby shower (which would have been nice in addition to the one I got my friends to arrange), but we ended up just going to an Italian at lunch time.

I'm very upset. I won't be back at work for a year. I've been there for years and I expected something more. I didn't even get any gifts or a slice of a cake. All I got was one card shared from the office!

When work colleagues leave they get a massive send off with work lunches, gifts, cards & a night out. I'm not expecting a night out drinking given my condition, but I wanted something more.

Feckin love you phyllis

Love your work. Big, big fan.

In have a feeling there is a huge staff party taking place tonight....

Oh Christ. You're one of those mum's who will be posting daily about your mat leave won't you?

I get that the girl taking your role may have been a bit snidey, think this is more common than people think.

You've potentially got another 6 weeks before you have your baby. I really wouldn't spend it thinking about work or comparing yourself to your SIL
Now is the time to get the house clean, get some sleep, iron tiny little white socks and relax

V droll Phyll, as long as you're having fun.

Like she'd rejoice in me not coming back so she can stay in the role permanently.

Thats probably true. And maybe a lot of other people are thinking that too.

Fact is op, your attitude is what leads to these situations. The fact that you cant see that means you are either a gf or possibly need some therapy.

No one is this unaware of themseleves unless they are mentally unwell.

That's brilliant 😂, can I borrow it?

Phyllis listen to MommaGee

She is wise.

And remember envy is the thief of happiness. You're on Mat leave, you're expecting a healthy baby, your life is pretty great, right? Have a think about what you have rather than what you haven't.

I bloody love that Phyllis has felt distress that her sleep and routine have been disrupted by work. And she's about to have a baby.

Phyllis, precious, give it a while and you'll be too fucking knackered to spell sleep and routine.

Reading OP's posts - are you sure she's not a troll and this isn't a wind up?

When is your baby due?

Just look for the star in the East.

I have a feeling that this baby will be sleeping through the night and potty trained from birth!

@MasterOfDisguise, I really like @MommaGee actually. I agree, I have a lot of respect for her.

Well I've just happened across this little gem.

As you were.

Just look for the star in the East

I fucking well hope so!

I don't see anything wrong with feeling a little disappointed with the "lack of fuss" but not to the extent you can't shake it off. I suppose it really depends on the usual culture at your work place and the "norm" for mat leave. Personally, it wouldn't bother me as I prefer no fuss or attention.
I don't think you deserve to be called horrible for it but I think you do fail to see how you're potentially coming accross?

Nope this is Phyllis all over. Every single post she has ever done.

Rhubard I think you're right.

Though why this child of God isn't trained up already is anyone's guess. Still in womb is no excuse.

Phyllis, I'm thinking this:- they don't want you back and are actually preparing an offer letter for Rome to your unborn child. They've taken your reference of your child as your bond and have heard great things. Congrats to the baby. Will it have a corner office?

Reading OP's posts - are you sure she's not a troll and this isn't a wind up?

How very dare you?

This is Phyllis. She is very important, perpetually disappointed, and about to birth a world-changing genius.

"Troll"? Hmmmmmmphhhhh

You're pretty important? You're really not ... BUT you are totally hilarious.

Random "Rome"!!

Just look for the star in the East

What names are you thinking of?
