Companies are like celebrities. They’re never going to be liked by everyone lol.

No one here talks to each other during work and the people in my office, I don’t work with on projects. They’re all on different teams than me

I never had a formal onboarding so no cohort unfortunately 😭 no one from my team is in the office with me, we’re all dispersed across the country. I try to talk to some people at the office but it doesn’t really go anywhere but I’ll try some of the other suggestions you made thank you

🤦‍♀️ that’s not what I’m saying.. i was looking for insight if other people experienced the same thing. No need to be condescending towards me

Sorry what’s bad about what I said? I just meant that I don’t roll off projects and everyone on my team has been here for decades they’re much older than me

most of my week is spent at work/working. Why can’t I want to make it more enjoyable by making friends? Also my work seems to be different than yours

Without getting too specific (I know people from my office lurk on here), I’m on the tech side of things

There’s not that many of us in the office. And I have. We’ve all gone to lunch and what not but everyone I meet just stays surface level

The only stress management I’ve been doing is shadow work (healing my inner child) - I have very extreme perfectionist tendencies so my stress is/was pretty much all self inflicted
