I've had a day at work where I would have been better off invisible.
There's a group of people who are all very friendly with each other, excessively loud, and managers who add to that environment rather than have a balanced approach between work and levity.
They barely will make conversation unless I do, and of course I sit in a separate office nearby, but I'm not a superior figure they need to keep a distance for. They can say hi, as my colleague failed to do when delivering a document to me this morning. I mean, that's just basic politeness.
I feel isolated and I've got into this mindset fully belligerent to then and frankly, couldn't care what they think about me. If they can't engage, then I will refuse to do so with them. They hold a grievance that I'm very close friends with another member of staff, who shock horror, doesn't want to be part of their jovial friendship group and also because they are aware - I strongly understand - of my management of a colleague that didn't go well.
If I could work at home all the time, I would.
They just have no clue how they are making me feel, and talk publicly about mental health in the workplace whilst showing such a disregard on how their behaviour is affecting a quieter, reserved member of the team.
Am I dealing with this the right way? Because I don't know any other way.
