(Narrated story to chatgpt and then it framed it, was too tired sorry)

For some background, I joined the company as an SEO trainee around October/November and was later moved into an SEO Content Writer role. About a month ago, I was shifted from the SEO team to the content writing team.

From the beginning, I never felt like I belonged in this team. The team consists of my senior (C) and two colleagues (A and S), who are very close to her. There is also another employee from a different team (V) who is frequently included in their group.

One thing that has always bothered me is that despite being hired into SEO content-related positions, A and S seem to have very limited understanding of SEO fundamentals. I am talking about basic concepts such as primary keywords, secondary keywords, search intent, and other SEO essentials that I was trained on during my time in the SEO department.

Because of my SEO background, several responsibilities gradually started coming to me. Whenever there was work that required actual SEO knowledge, I was often the person handling it.

A was on leave for about a month. During that time, processes changed and I took ownership of several tasks. When she returned, I continued handling the responsibilities that had already been assigned to me.

Today, A needed help with an important report that management wanted updated on priority. My senior, C, messaged me and asked me to help her. The message was not just about the work. It included a long explanation about teamwork, helping colleagues, making people feel welcome, supporting each other, and creating a positive team environment.

I agreed and helped immediately. In fact, I completed the report update in about two hours even though it normally takes much longer.

Then, around 5 PM, C posted a message in the team group saying she was giving a birthday treat. She specifically tagged A, S, and V and invited them to the cafeteria. A was working from home, so food was ordered for her separately.

I watched everyone leave together for the celebration. Infact V said that he wouldnt join the party unless his interns are invited too, and then they were invited too.

I was never tagged.I was never invited.

What hurt was not the food or the party. I genuinely do not care about free food. What hurt was being told earlier the same day about teamwork, belonging, helping colleagues, and making people feel at home, only to be visibly excluded from a gathering involving everyone else.

I helped when asked. I completed the urgent work. I have tried to contribute to the team despite never really feeling accepted there.

Yet moments like this make me feel that I am treated as someone who is useful for work but not actually considered part of the group.

I came home feeling extremely upset and ended up crying.

Am I overreacting, or would most people feel excluded in this situation?

**TLDR:**

Sr in the morning sends a long ahh paragraph to me personally for teamwork and then excludes me from her “event”

Bhai itni mithi boli hai, aur log ko sharam aati h bolne pe? Nipor
