I always had a feeling my team didn’t like me as much as the other members on my team. Just found out that they’ve been having happy hour sessions and left me off the invite. 😪

That’s petty of them, and I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been left out.

Are these people you would’ve liked to spend time with?

You will find a team who is respectful of you and likes you just the way you are, even if this current team isn’t it. 💕

We’re definitely different people with different interests, but yeah. I would’ve liked to be on the invite to chat with them more. It is what it is, I guess.

Thank you though 💜

The hostility on my team is rough. We have a yeller. I walked by her room the other day. She was screaming across the room at a student, "you have to be kind to get kindness." Seriously, those were her words in a loud, berating, angry tone. Our admin has asked that we not report these. We are to talk to the teacher. She has yelled at me and other adults. Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.

Help?

Advertising isn’t the only field that experiences this type of situation. Most people learn differently from others, still others like myself with ADHD and my grandson on the autism spectrum, we definitely see things and learn things in a different way. We all get to the same place we just take a different route. People need to keep that in mind before placing others on PIPS. Keep the journey in mind and allow the person the luxury of listening, you might learn something.
