I have work at this company for 4 years and the more people I get close to here the more friends I have lost. Things always changed and I just rolled with it because I am a sag and that??s what we do.
The latest friends lost have formed such a bond with each other that I??ve been pushed out. Maybe because of the better personality match they have with each other.
(We have been so close in the past I mean very close and then one day it just changed)
But today I have to say they made plans with each other and hid it from me so that they wouldn??t have to feel guilty of not wanting me to go with.
I wouldn??t want anyone to feel like they have to manipulate a situation so that they could get away with from facing me directly.
I have kept my distance with them only sharing general stuff. However there is the feeling of isolation or exclusion. I don??t want to be included in other people??s plans if they don't want me to be.
Also, I work very closely with these ladies. Don??t want there to be any weirdness. Working with women is very dangerous for your career!

I would just keep acting aloof, but remain very friendly.
Definately don't get involved in any kind of drama.

Wouldnt that mean putting up a false pretense..by 'trying' to act aloof?
I admit we all do it....but i hate that we do it.

"Can you just ask them what the problem is and maybe then try to resolve it? "
Well i tried once and it was not pretty and that's were the wierdness began.
It's not false to remain positive and aloof. It is keeping the peace for the sake of your career. I wouldn't want my boss to think I don't work hard and that I'm just worried about the other women in my group.
I read that if your are a hard worker and you are not very well liked that it does weigh on you with your boss. People like a team player not a hard ass.
