My coworkers started a group chat without me, and now I’m feeling left out. It’s really starting to affect my morale. I feel like I'm in high school even mentioning this, but I found out accidentally, and I felt really hurt and uncomfortable. WWYD in this situation?

Try to forget about it, even though that's obviously much easier said than done. As long as it's not affecting your work, there isn't much you can or should do about it. These people have made it clear that you're not "in" with them. Treat them accordingly.

I know you are right but it’s really bumming me out haha. I’ll try my best to forget

Plot my revenge.

Hahaha amazing response

I would take a look inwards first. Maybe personalities clash and that's okay, it doesn't mean they don't like you!

Thanks for the advice! Will try to do

I’m on the other side of this situation. If the girl we left out mentioned it - we aren’t going to add her in. She just doesn’t mesh with us and we do stuff outside of work that we discuss in the smaller group chat.

Sounds like maybe I need to just find my people

If you have people that report to you, you have to get used to not being invited even if you get along well. No one wants the boss everywhere 🙂 I know some chats exist where I wasn’t included, and I jokingly say, “You need a space to talk about me.” There’s truth to that, but I don’t take it personally.

My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
