Hi Heather. To understand your situation better, here are some questions:

– Are these people in your team or in a different team to you?
– How is your relationship with your manager/superior?
– Who else feels the same in the office?

The reason I ask is that perhaps looking at the wider picture will give you some perspective. Of course, if others are experiencing the same thing, then it is not OK to just allow it to happen. But it will help you see if this is something that is aimed at you, or a cultural thing in your office.

What conversations have you had on this topic with a person of influence (by which I mean your manager or HR)? Feeling like this in the office is not something anyone should experience – and it sounds to me like you are ready to take some action.

Much love,
Razwana
