A netizen shared a story about how she joined a new company but after 9 months of joining, no one talks to her or tries to befriend her.
Here is the story:
“Hello everyone I’m just so sad and I need a place to vent and hopefully get some advices as well.
It’s 12 am and I just ended work. I work in audit (I know everyone is going to say this is auditor life) but this is not even peak period for my company. I hate the work, the people and company.
I am very friendly person with many friends outside but at work no one talks to me .
I tried reaching out to different department colleagues but everyone seem to be happy talking to or going out for lunch among themselves.
It’s been 9 months and I am the only new person it’s getting very difficult to be in my head for over 12 hrs.
What do I do? Please give me some advice.”
Editor’s note: I also spent months without friends when I joined a new workplace and was left out of office gatherings and etc, but it gets better eventually – try making ONE friend then slowly expand.
