So this is how it feels to be the object of jealousy. Yeah well, I may be just exaggerating right now but I really feel that everyone in my office hates me right now.
Here’s what happened: A couple of weeks ago, one of our biggest clients paid us a personal visit at the office to see how the project is doing. The project, which was assigned to our team, was well received. Because of this, the client promised the team that they would give more projects to us because of the way we handled things. To keep things short, they were happy.
On that same week the client gave the team a dinner treat and sort of promised us that they would invite all of us at their site in NY. Everyone became so excited.
So here’s where my problem comes in. Earlier today, my boss announced that he received an email from that client and that they are inviting ME to visit NY. My boss even bragged that it was an all expense trip with accommodations from luxury new york city hotels. At an instant it felt awkward. I know the team wants to go there so badly yet I was the only one invited. I am supposed to feel happy right? But I definitely am not. No I am not so sure if I must accept the invite or not.
