I ve been working in a new company for a few months. There is a gossip culture there which I try my best to not get involved in. The last few weeks I ve been feeling isolated by petty things but feel it's come a head this week. examples are:
There's a team whatsapp group and I'm not in it. At first I thought as I was new it was just an oversight but when they were talking about it a few weeks ago I mentioned I wasn't in there but still wasn't added. Then this week it was chatted about that the 2 new people were being added.
Then a night out was being planned after work. The 3 girls I sit in the pod with were arranging and speaking about it but I wasn't invited.
Then this week we did Halloween in work. I didn't dress upbas I couldn't get the theme outfit in time. I said that I was happy if they still wanted to paint my face or if not I could stay out of the competition part etc. The girls doing the make up didn't include me as there was no time and I happily stayed out of the pic etc. Then last night everyone in the office was tagged in the team photos bar me. Even the people who didn't participate or wasn't even in that day. It's made me feel like what I initially out down to oversights isnt. I'm really tempted to take the lot of them off my account and just keep myself to myself. I really don't know how to handle this as I ve always got on with people and I'm not really sure what to do for the vest.?
