How to handle being ostracized at work?

Ask one of them why? Couldn't hurt worse than not knowing 😕 😔 🤗🤗

Simple - tell the manager you can stick your job up your arse and walk out and not returning

Im sorry :( you can meet new friends thou though hobbies! Like painting or dancing or knitting

I’m so sorry. I’ve witnessed that when a coworker had to be out for months due to health issues. Some people just didn’t believe she needed to miss work, and they never would just be honest with her about the ‘drift’. Working there taught me a huge lesson….If you don’t fit there, get a job somewhere else where you do. Your coworkers make or break your job. And your job is such a large part of your life…it might as well be a good part. I hope things get better for you. Don’t take their behavior personally. I’m sure it isn’t you at all. Some people get so hung up on this crazy intense work ethic of never missing work even if you’re dying. Their priorities are skewed.

Honestly it’s work so you’re better off not making friends with your coworkers. Go to work, do your job and go home.

Every place of work needs a scape goat .

I'm actually typing as I'm thinking this through.
You've just made me realise something .

Work is hard . There are problems and fuck ups .
And no one want to be responsible .
And ....some people are just bored or insecure, so they NEED someone to dump on.

You were gone . Which means for everyone else, or just the insecure ones - it was damn easy to talk about you . Maybe even blame you for shit.

One starts....and influences the others.

I've had a similar thing happen . Even my best friend at work is now 'odd' in some ways .
I work really hard, I have the heaviest load of my colleagues....yet I get dumped on .

But.....Im the only one who works part time .I'm not there for half the time .
And there always seems to be something 'new' that is a problem. Or more silent withholding or something I don't know about. I'm excluded from things .

And I couldn't work it out. I try to be agreeable, flexible and help others - yet it's not enough .

But I do know one particular person doesn't like me ....although I don't know why . And I feel it is them that maybe spreads dissent while I'm not there .

I've made peace with it . If that's what they want, if that's what they need ....let them have it.

Work isn't my life or my character .

Revenge is best served cold.

don't look at work for friendship. they are mad because you left. that is not being supportive. be happy and find that happiness outside of work. when i first started my job, i was ostracized too because they didn't know what i did and rumor had it I made lots of money

Hard and fast
Sorry to say but I've been in your shoes and it lasted ten long years, sure it hurt me inside.
How I handled it was to remind myself that Work is Work and I was there for financial reasons not make friends.

What a lousy lot

So coworkers won't talk to you and you make it sound like a bad thing. That's a fucking blessing. You can come in, do your work, have nobody interrupt you, nobody wanting you to do stuff. I would love that.
