To be upset with managers for not saying congratulations after I got married?

I’ve been with the firm almost 10 years. Got married 6 weeks ago.

If it’s a professional working environment and you work regularly with the same team, it is a bit crap.

It’s basic human interaction to say ‘congratulations’

Seems like your manager/managers are all on mumsnet 😂

of course it’s polite to say congrats…. I mean unless you didn’t tell anyone and eloped.
surely when people come back off holiday there colleagues ask how it was?!

I congratulated a colleague who had changed her surname once. She hadn’t got married. She’d got divorced. And so now, unless someone explicitly tells me they are getting married, name changes go unmentioned

I had the same, but it was because I didn't invite anyone from work to my wedding Blush

Same. No one said anything about it but I didn't mind really. Hadn't been there long.

I got congratulated when I changed my name after getting divorced, it didn't bother me though, I was happy to dispose of his surname and go back to my own, so I guess congratulations was appropriate 😆

It depends.
Some people manage dozens, or even hundreds of people. Some Managers only manage 3.
The first - YABU. The second - YANBU.

Some people's Managers work in the same room as them and would have been away of chat about the wedding (YANBU) others work in separate offices / rooms / even building and it wouldn't be on their radar (YABU)

Some people - on a small, tight knit team - would have invited their Manager to a wedding (YANBU), but in other work places that wouldn't be appropriate / there is too much distance between Manager and Team and they aren't invited, in which case YABU.

They might think you got divorced, decided to reject the name of an absent father and don’t want to put their foot in it. Did you book leave for your wedding? Did your colleagues not get you a card?
