Started a new job 16 months ago. Initially the team seemed very nice. There is some office bitching and politics but I suppose you get that everywhere. I was placed in an office with three other ladies who I got on well with and felt like I settled in.
A few months later management decided on a whole office reshuffle and I was basically put in a small office (basically a cupboard!) at the end of a corridor on my own. Due to the nature of my work it does make sense because my job is slightly different to everyone else's which is what I told myself at the time.
But a year on it's wearing thin. I hear laughter and chatting all the time from other offices while I'm sat alone. I miss out on so much information about things that are going on purely because I'm not there to hear it. There are people in the organisation who still don't know my name a year on because I get forgotten about. If ever they need me for out of hours work (overtime or events) I get asked (told) last minute with no notice. It's basically an afterthought like 'oh elf will do it' but they don't bother asking.
My boss appears to have no interest in me or my job. If I ever try to approach her with ideas I can literally see her eyes glaze over. She's looked at her phone mid conversation many times. They don't seem to know what I do and are quite happy for me to be shut away in an office. Right now the rest of the team have left the office to go to the canteen for a Christmas buffet and totally forgot to ask me. The bloody cleaning lady brought in little gifts for everyone and forgot me, clearly having no idea who I am.
I might as well be Harry bloody Potter in the cupboard under the stairs! I'm at the point now where I feel so undervalued and invisible that I might just leave. But I like the work and the organisation as a whole. Just can't believe people can be so rude.
