What is a good way to handle your co-workers when they don't invite you?
So via Facebook, I found out that there was a Christmas Party from my job, and I didn't find out until everyone from work started posting about how they had a good time and everybody will have a hangover at work. Well I never got the invite, if anybody asks me, I was thinking of responding with the most sarcastic nice voice that I wasn't invited and that's why I wasn't there. But then I feel that is too childish and although I do work with a lot of people who are childish, it won't get me anywhere. So what should I do? Smile to these peoples faces and show them that it never got to me, or make it known that it pissed me off that I wasn't told about this let alone invited. I have work tomorrow night and I'll be the first to admit that I can be a little bit of a hot head when it comes to being left out or not invited to things. Maybe because I'm so mad right now and can't sleep that this is why I feel this way. Anyways, I really would appreciate it if I could get a decent mature answer. I really do want to know how to handle this the best way possible because I'm starting to think that the people I work with just smile to my face and talk **** about me when I'm not around.

I would be annoyed too but you know there is always the chance that it was just a mistake you not being told. For your own benefit I would not show them you are upset but perhaps say I would have liked to come but never heard about it and see what they say then. I am sure they will say they are sorry and it was amistake or something and as you know yourself there is no need to be childish about these things as that will just come back to you but you could say to whoever you get on with do you fancy getting a diink this weekend or something for pre Christmas cheer

Don't make snide comments, passive aggressive people are the worst. Just plain ask a co-worker you are the most friends with, find out what happened.
Or start being more social and you will be invited for sure, show them what they missed. But don't try to hard. Good luck.
