Re: Who to invite from work?
Posted by Ilovebriani
yeah, i am having a hard time with this as well. i definately know i am inviting people in my direct dept. b/c i feel pretty close with all of them in one way or another and i really want them to be there. there is another dept. within my dept. who i work closely with....but....i dont really feel that close with anyone in that dept. and i dont think any of them would expect to be invited. so i dont plan on iviting them. they would just be happy to see the pictures when i get back. BUT....the problem is....there are a few 'assistants' who work for both my dept. and the other dept. that are always with us. a few of them are very touchy about things like this and i KNOW they would be offended if i didnt invite them. which to me is very childish b/c it's not like i hang out with them outside of work or anything. and some of them i honestly cant stand although they do not know it i am sure. so i am so torn as to whether i should invite them. i feel like if i dont they wont want to talk to me (which, like i said is ridiculous but they are like that) ...but at the same time i dont want to invite them just for that reason! if i DO invite them i dont want to have them bring guests b/c that just adds on more ppl who i dont know.....but.....the ppl. in my dept. i want to invite with guests....so i know that will then cause drama. (they will prob say....'oh, so why did u invite THEM with guests and not us').....either way i lose! people are so ridicuous sometimes, i wish they would just be understanding and not make things so difficult. if you are following me here...any suggestions or thoughts??
if i was in your situation. I would only invite people who i am very close with at work, like we joke around and etc. and/or people who i have spent time with outside of work or speak to on the phone
