Help please? Major blip right now

Oh, I've told them to their faces. The mistake you make here is assuming that they're rational.

Based on experience, they'll resent the hell out of me.

Good grief! You can only do what you can do! You can't be in two places at once.

[BlueIris]

I know this, but logic is as nothing in the face of them maybe having to shift a couple more dozen books than me.

[Catkins]

Please know that you're not the problem here. I know that doesn't help in any practical way - but try to hang onto that.

[Scass]

Well they all sound like bags of shite. I don’t suppose the meetings can be moved? Put it in writing to the whole team, copy in every manager you can think of, and HR. Then let them stew in their own unpleasantness.

Maybe its time to switch departments? Why are these people so clique-y?

[pulisa]

Unnecessary update: my manager made it plain that if I attended a couple of (mandatory) meetings while the rest of the team were packing up for the move, they'd resent me for it and she would be perfectly okay with this.

Feeling really isolated right now.

Could your manager not go to these meetings instead of you? Or will she be packing up books while you deal with college business?

Blue, you can't change the way people perceive you, but you can choose how you receive those people's actions and words. 9 times out of 10 this sort of behaviour occurs through jealousy. And you have to remember it's not you that is the problem, it's them!
You are there to do a job, not to play who's in my gang in the playground. It's not nice having a work place when it's like this but unfortunately it happens in so many places. Aging doesn't correct what can be perceived as bully behaviour or click groups.
Hold your head up high and remind yourself how brilliantly you are doing and don't waste your energy on people that mean absolutely zilch to you at the end of the day. x

Thanks, all. Sorry, been feeling a bit quiet lately.

[Carnation]

Don't apologise Blue, you do what you need and sometimes, that's nothing. x

Really annoyed with myself. Can't focus, then when Mr Iris needed the sofa after being tired from his second jab, I landed up in tears after an hour because I felt so drained. I'm meant to be cooking tonight but I can't imagine focusing for that long even though I normally enjoy it.
