My first job as a real adult, not a co-op student, was in a 15-person company. I heard talk about social events every few weeks, but no one talked to me about them. If anything, they spoke more quietly when I was around. No biggie. It was only some of them, probably a group of close friends. After three months, my boss, who was in charge of the Christmas party, asked if I was going. What party? Didn’t you get the email last month? She looked into it immediately. My name wasn’t on the social internal email list, and they’d all assumed I was getting the invitations and choosing not to go, or even to send RSVPs.
That would be so typically Eeyore!
“Nobody tells me. Nobody keeps me informed. I make it 17 days come Friday since anybody spoke to me.”
