So, I started a new job… there was a celebration for someone. I went in while they were decorating and putting up the gifts for this work mate. I said what’s going on. And they said they totally forgot to include me but, I could come. Later on, someone asked me if I had gotten cake from the celebration. I went in there and told the guy happy birthday celebration. My colleagues all turned around , I didn’t see the cake and they didn’t offer. I stood there a minute and they didn’t say anything … so, I went to go wash my hands figuring out how to get away from the embarrassment and as I was walking out I said hey hey happy happy birthday again.
and left and went to do my work. I was embarrassed , I think the most. How would anyone else have handled it

Oh man, that woulda really bothered me too! I'd feel like totally left out and unwanted at my new job. Those guys were definitely in the wrong for not properly including you.
If it was me, I probably would've just tried to play it cool and not let them see how much it bugged me. Maybe make a joke like "Haha thanks for the invite guys! Next time I better get a slice of cake too." Then found an excuse to slip out quick before they saw my face getting red.
Inside though, I'd be feeling pretty annoyed. Like, I'm one of the team now too right? Don't gotta make the new person feel awkward. Hopefully they realize they messed up and are nicer going forward.
Try not to take it too personally - sounds like they were just being thoughtless more than anything mean. Bet they won't forget you next time! And hey, at least you got the "happy birthday" in there twice haha. Keep doin your thing and don't let em bring you down!
Please focus on your job and move on. You’re not there to make friends. You’re there to do a job. Yes, friends may come, but remember, not everyone at work is your friend.
