Two colleagues at work have formed a bit of a clique. I started a few months ago and they weren’t close before. We’re a small team of 6 and I’m the only other person their age so it feels a little deliberate.
Examples include going for lunch without inviting others, only talking to each other and not to me (I do make conversation but have given up now!), one let the door slam in my face the other day when I was right behind her - only got a sorry when I uttered a brusque thanks. If they’re announcing something work related to two of us, they’ll both only look at each other - it feels quite insidious and I feel left out.
how can I not let it get to me? There’s only so many times you can say how are you and ask about someone’s weekend without it being reciprocated. Today I mentioned something about a current affairs topic and one colleague just didn’t even reply - just left me hanging.
