[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh dear, this reminds me of a workplace I was at in the mid-2000s. Same exact situation OP. I was one of the ones left out. So many mean girls in that office. I just ended up ignoring it, and eventually I found another job and quit. Looking back at what went on in that office, none of that stuff would fly these days. It's no wonder they eventually went out of business. [/quote]

Me, too! I was left out a few times. The organizer was the office manager who kept the office calendar and so the birthdays were on them but only a couple people were "forgotten" throughout the year. Everyone else got cake or doughnuts at a little happy hour the last half hour of the workday. We'd circulate a birthday card for everyone to sign. On my birthday I would get a staff meeting that I thought would turn out to be the happy hour but no, it was just a staff meeting.

If I were that office manager now, I'd just switch it up and do a monthly happy hour for everyone. Maybe let that month's birthday people choose what the treat was.[/quote]
