This has made me feel like shit but I’m not sure if I’m being dramatic or not. Obviously I won’t say anything and will remain professional, but I just wanted to see if anyone else would feel the same way.
I’ve been in my job for just over a year now, positive feedback, no issues etc. My team is small and we all get on really well, my manager is lovely too.
My manager reports to the HR director. I don’t have much contact with her and neither does the rest of the team except for the odd meeting / update. She’s always been polite and friendly when I’ve spoken to her and has, on a couple of occasions praised my work.
She recently bought us all a gift each to thank us for our hard work. Mine was a box of chocolates (which was lovely and I was grateful for), however I later found out that she had bought everyone else a bottle of fizz and flowers. I’m the only person in the team that received chocolates, and I only found this out as my colleague mentioned it saying how lovely it was without realising I hadn’t been given the same. She was mortified when she realised.
AIBU to be a bit hurt by this and feel singled out? I’m curious more than anything, perhaps she doesn’t like me for some reason. As I said I won’t mention anything, but I do think it’s a shitty thing to do, especially considering the position that she’s in. The company focuses heavily on inclusion etc so I’m just surprised really.
