In today's Ask Amy: When your coworkers buy gifts for everyone in the office -- except you
I’m taking your word for how wonderful these co-workers are, but the fact that your own momentous events have been ignored — when so many others are recognized — is unconscionable.
I suggest that you swallow the momentary embarrassment, adopt a baffled attitude, raise your hand, and let the others in this group know: “I’m always happy to celebrate and contribute to these things, but hellooooo, do you realize that all of my moments are skipped over? Who do I have to know to get on this generous list?”During my visit, she took me to one of those “parties” where a sales pitch is given and attendees are supposed to buy products.
Later, my friend told me I was rude for not participating. When I explained my position, she told me I should have purchased a small item.It is certainly not polite for one friend to accuse another of being “rude” for sitting quietly during a sales party to which she has not been invited. If you are invited to one of these parties and attend knowing the purpose, then the host does have a hope or expectation that guests will purchase something, Guests, who are often friends or associates of the “host,” will often bow to the implied social pressure and purchase something they might not need or want, which seems to be the overall business model of these direct sales schemes.
Giving this loser the opportunity to keep hurting her is pointless. She needs the tools to come to terms with the fact that her father doesn’t deserve to have her or his grandchildren in his life and learn to move on without him.My therapist and I have worked through all of this together and I’m a lot stronger.I could probably match you in the bad dad department, and I agree that therapy would be very useful.
