Quick vent: I really hate when people aren’t inclusive! I invite my roommate out all the time with my friends and we have a great time. I haven’t received a single invite back. She definitely has more friends than I do in the area so it would help me out a lot to be invited & included to form a friend group. I even tried to invite myself and still no inclusion. Ugh.

She doesn’t like you is why

She likes your friends? Why don’t you just ask her lightheartedly “hey I think it’s great we hang out and you get along with my friends. But I’m curious - how come you never invite me out with your friends?”

Or she just needs time away

You live with her which means she sees you a lot. She may just want a break and to hang out with her friends. I don’t think it for sure means she doesn’t like you. She just likely needs space. I lived with my best friend for a few years and sometimes when I was hanging out with mutual friends I didn’t invite her. I didn’t invite her bc I just needed space. It doesn’t mean I was being mean or not inclusive. I just needed some time away. She understood.

Since you called her your roommate, it doesn't sound like you're actually friends. You have tried to initiate friendship by inviting her out. She has not reciprocated. Think it's safe to she doesn't want to be your friend. She may join you and your friends out of boredom or politeness. I don't see anything wrong with it. You can't force someone to be your friend.

If it really bothers you, stop inviting her out.

On a big zoom call this morning. Child walks in fully naked and COVERED in marker. I mean face, legs, hands, everything. Even better, I didn't hear them right away and a coworker had to let me know they were there via chat. Turned around and my kid looked like a soldier in army paint. Not my finest parenting moment since I just pushed them out into the hallway and continued with my meeting. Sharing the shame here

Hi, we just launched Diversity and inclusion committee at our work place and one of our many initiatives is to share some reminders /notifications about safety and inclusion in common employee platforms/portals e.g There’s no place or time when discrimination is acceptable. Please feel free to report to HR if you com across any discriminatory behavior. Anyone has any more similar ideas what other topics we can add?

I’m having a hard time fitting in w/ my fellow teachers. I’ve been here almost 2 years & I feel like I’m “tolerated” rather than accepted. I came in as the same time as another teacher & they seem to have accepted her. I was out last year on maternity leave. Before I left I almost considered them friends but when I came back I felt like everything changed. They didn’t really help me & threw me to the wolves. I feel alone this year & sometimes dread going to work & getting the silent treatment.

I’m in a team with all men and we were having a discussion few days ago and I was just voicing my opinion about the on going topic and the senior manager completely disregarded what I said and instead provided me feedback in front of everyone during the meeting. I’ve never seen this happen with the other staff on our team when he voices his opinion on something. I definitely always welcome feedback as I’m still learning but I think that this should’ve been a private convo. Any thoughts on this?
