Over the past year I've noticed that people at work have been withdrawing...

So there have been lots of redundancies, secondments and leavers.
In between there were 2 retirees.

The IT manager hardly comes in and one of the assistant recently clasjed with a colleague online because he voiced an opinion. the colleague in question is a social justice warrior that can't keep her views to herself.

So a lot of the peer group has turned against him.

Last year I met my partner and I've been the happiest I've been in a while and been trying to spend more time with him.
This year I feel pregnant and well since presenting the news to colleagues at work I've seen them withdrawing.

So much so Monday chats about the weekend are responded with yea it was nice thanks. If I try to get them to dig a little more they turn it on me.
Or use the excuse of a meeting.

I wasn't the most sociable but I did attend a few things only to be left out or at one point verbally abused by am ex colleague.

This year the fatigue has been massive and I struggle to stay up without an afternoon nap. Most events happen after work. And in all honesty. I just don't feel up to it.

I haven't actually visited my mums home in months.


The people that were nice before are still the same but a few others have really pushed me out.

I don't care about the social aspect just more my job security in the event I need to return.

It's coming across all nasty. What I dislike more is the fact that these people should be more mature than this.

Work, at times, can be like the worst parts of high school. If you're lucky, you make a few friends, and it sounds as though you have! I hope your work buddies throw you a baby shower!

@4meAndyou honestly I don't want a baby shower... That's more a US thing. Personally I'd rather them just be normal with me.
The stress has been affecting me. And baby brain is no joke.

@Mellowgirl I know. It's very stressful for you now. Only another month or so, and you will be holding your perfect little baby in your arms!
