Okay.. so one of my coworkers is getting married and I learned today that he invited most people in the team but me. I have known him for less than a year while he is close with the rest for over 4 years. We are not super close but we do chat and joke with each other every day when in the office. We have even had drinks with others out of office a few times. The only other person from the team that isn't invited other than me is a girl who joined 5 months ago and always only keeps to herself. She never talks to anyone.
I understand why he would not pick me when extending invites to his other closest coworkers and I am trying not to feel upset. But it sort of hurts when everyone else talks about the wedding and I am there just sitting at my desk. I mean they all know that I am not invited because nobody even asked me. I just feel left out. I sort of thought we were friends.

This happens a lot at work places. When there is a social event whoever is planning it does the 'one left out' thing and it is a shame that it happens to be you. If you work at different jobs you will see this happen again. You are lucky that you haven't been ganged up on because this is another thing that happens frequently at jobs and is a lot worse. Most work places are toxic.
ReplyIt's sad and I understand that you feel left out but just because you have a laugh with this person doesn't mean you are the type of friends that make him invite you to his wedding. Weddings are expensive and it was probably in the planning stage before you even started working there and they decided how many to invite so maybe they just couldn't afford to add another head to the count.
