Be alone wolf bro, make them realise that you are something by ur work. Once they realise that u r not any random guy. You have potential to do something. Start interacting with them while doing ur work and put ur thoughts in it. Ur friendship will begin f rom there. All the best. Don't afraid to be alone.
Be alone and not try to join some group. Just do your work properly and talk and behave with them only professionally. Once you are good with your work ethics and work. If that group ment to be in your life it will come. Otherwise nothing wrong to be alone. If you their alone and confident and as you success they will come to you and if not then anyway you are their to work not to make family. Just be yourself, and humble right people will come.
Been there. My team mostly did wfh and those who came from sister teams didn't really bother. My manager used to come but he is toxic af so I'd hate to dine with him. But having lunch and snacks alone isn't that much of a deal. Its cool. I love eating without judgements and have my sweet time watching netflix on phone and eat. I hardly cared. Hope you stop giving effs too
True...my team members also toxic...asking me..have you been in client facing scenarios? All judging questions... forgot most of the cringe questions... but now it's better to go alone..and I realized that I love my own company more.
Don't be disheartened. If they don't join you, then you can ask them to call you when they go for lunch. Or if you see them and if you are alone, go ask them if you can join them. I never had a specific lunch group. I used to join whoever was available. For me having my lunch on time was priority and like this I could network with a diverse set of people everyday.
Lastly, your colleagues are not your school/college friends. Set a professional boundary. Prioritize food over anything else during lunchtime:)
You are successful already as you work for MSFT, do your work get paid well...if you feel bored when alone at the office go for a phone call with your old friends or family...so you look busy.Or just go for a walk with earphones on with the music you like.
I have been in these situations and was not even at MSFT, it was a not paying much job.
If you learn to live alone you can do anything alone.
If anything has to come your way it will come...
It's better to be alone than having some toxic , jealousy friends.
Feel like suffocating with the msft team culture.
Yeah bro...thought the same... thanks bro.. people here set a bad culture. Even if we cross by they don't make eye contact and to the worst they don't smile.. Anyway... thanks for the positivity bro... ✨️
They are being reserved. Talk with them not during lunch but something work related. See if they help or not or show interests or not. Hang with them when they become comfortable they will come. Why to expect just give them a call hey brother sit with us. They will have to comply that.. Be in a leader position of how to assemble people to achieve goal with common interest. And interests here is talking casual and having lunch together.
I am in one company take lunch alone without trying to connect with anyone. After sometime people gradually invite me to be with them. I just talk with them professional not try to connect at personal level. Once they understand what skills I have right people connect with me. 😊
Loved it.. thanks N it's inspires me.
Thank you I'm following it! Wish you all success and good health! :))
Unable to put my thoughts as there is a string value restriction
Thanks dude.. I'm trying my efforts to make good rapport here with utmost leadership and dignity.
I have to check if they gonna help me with work related or not.. but I wonder they lack being socially jovial and with zero etiquette or Empathy..
Being reserved is fine but it's happening with only me I believe.. I made them comfortable aksed the team for lunch but on the dinner table it was awkward silence and I have to start a topic..to fill the silence.
To be true they have their own set of ppl to hangout or since they are 8 plus years they have a mindset of not hanging out with interns or support engg.
I work where some senior never help me in work. you take to higher management professionally if needed. I understand it's tricky but always you think and act professional all will realize what is wrong.
