I work in a largeish industry office. I get on with most people. This week, only a few of us were in at the end of the day. We started to discuss going out for post work drinks and then at end of day that’s what we did.
today all of us were sent an e mail from another colleague who had been in the office saying she was upset not to be invited as she was the only one who wasn’t. I’m really annoyed by her. If she’d heard us discussing it, why not ask to come along?? She’s suggesting I’m not inclusive I think.
I replied to the e mail to say she got it wrong and it wasn’t deliberate etc. but I’m still irritated and spoke to my manager. He shrugged it off and said it was fair enough if her feelings were hurt. Even if we didn’t intend to hurt her feelings, we did.
What do you think? How would you approach this? Have I done something wrong?
