Employee gets excluded from coworker's housewarming party while everyone else in the office is invited, decides to report it to the CEO: ‘I assumed we were friends’

It is never fun to know that you are being left out of something and that people are doing it on purpose. Even though we are all adults, being excluded from social events can make each and every one of us feel like we are back in middle school, being picked last in Gym.

When I first started my previous job, I entered a group dynamic of coworkers who were obviously very close to each other. They had all these inside jokes, shared experiences, and relationships that I had nothing to do with, and it was not easy to accept that I might never be a part of that dynamic. But you know what the hardest part was? It was when I learned that they all had a group chart, separated from the work one, where they talked during the day, gossiping and spilling tea about everyone else in the office. That was the moment I genuinely felt excluded.

Thankfully, as I got to know them all, things got much better, even though they never added me to that group chat. I realized that while it can be nice to have friends at work, sometimes all they are ever going to be is coworkers, and that is completely okay. That is also the lesson the person who wrote this Reddit story needs to learn, as they feel upset about being excluded from a coworker's housewarming party.
