To think people are just shitty!

[zestyflavour]

Been in a fixed term role for 6 months and still a year to go - have really tried to make an effort with the group I work with but they're very cliquey (the first 4 months I was so badly treated it was blatant bullying and I ended up having a bit of a snap back which actually made things better) I really felt I was making headway with them all recently and have been having a laugh with them and joining in conversations ANYWAY today I nipped out for lunch and walked past a cafe and lo and behold they were ALL having lunch together and they hadn't invited me.
The looks all round were very awkward. None of them spoke to me really when they got back to the office and I pretended not to care, although it's hurt my feelings...aren't people just shitty, I'd never knowingly leave someone out...anyone else had this at a place of work?

I’m sorry OP.

It is shitty. My colleagues don't even acknowledge I'm there unless I make thw first effort.

I just don't understand why some people are so unfriendly - I really don't. to you OP.

I do seem to get this wherever I work so clearly something I'm doing. Usually I'm outgoing and make the effort, but here I just can't be myself...thank you for the flowers 😘

Oh I know the feeling, the worst part is when you start to ask yourself what you did wrong. Generally it's nothing, they're just arseholes.

No reflection of you and every reflection of them. Sounds like you've dodged a bullet imo-not being associated with or in the company of shitty people, normal nice people don't do that xx

I know right! Especially when there's 8 of them against 1 of you. They must know how that would feel..heartless bastards!! 

It’s not you, it’s them.

It’s lovely if people make friends through work, but I really hate places that ostracise people like this. It’s shitty, childish behaviour to not even try and be friendly and inclusive no matter how long anyone’s contract is.

Fuck ‘em. You don’t want to hear how Vicky’s husband is a knob or Deborah’s shopping list in ASDA this week. I guarantee people this unfriendly are insults and uninteresting.

*insults = insular

You couldn't be more right! They are very insular and uninteresting. Thank you I'm starting to feel better 
Just one year of these people and then onwards and upwards to the next group of dullards probably
