Is it customary to feel iced out at a new place? A simple good morning or acknowledging that I'm alive would be cool.

My current agency is the first and only place I've experienced that in my entire career. No idea what's behind it. I tried in a number of ways to get more integrated and finally just stopped. Now I just come in, take care of business, and go home. And honestly I'm ok with it now, but it does still feel a little weird, because every other place I've worked, I was pretty involved in the office community as far as building a sense of team, morale boosting, etc.

I work at a very cliquey place. I’m a bit of an introvert, so i feel like it’s being a bit amplified in my own head.

Same here, never experienced anything like that before. A few months in so far, not really sure it’s going to change. For now, just focused on doing good work, gaining what I came for, and then probably moving on.

It’s been tripping me out though, so I let out a huge sigh of relief when I saw this thread. Don’t take it personally (mostly because they haven’t bothered getting to know you).

Went on a bachelorette trip where the maid of honor was very anal, she made us do bi-monthly check ins with slides/agenda/itinerary since last year.
