Is it common to get ignored and excluded from team's meeting when you've already tendered your resignation? I didn't do this willingly but I was forced to submit it after a project failed and my boss put the blame entirely on me. I thought if I resigned, everybody will be happy and not treat me like a stranger. After all, I was thrown under the bus for them! All I'm asking is just a friendship that would last even after I don't work here anymore. Is it too much to ask? Why are they so mean??

Unfortunately, this is textbook workplace behavior. You resigned (even though you were pressured), so now you're irrelevant to their daily operations. They've mentally moved on. The fact that you were scapegoated just makes everyone uncomfortable, so avoidance is their way... 🙇🙇

Honestly? Yeah, it’s normal. People often act cold once someone resigns but it’s not about you personally, it’s about them protecting themselves. Doesn’t make it fair, but that’s just how office politics works sometimes. Associating with someone who’s obviously being cast out could put their own position at risk. No hard feelings, okay?

it depends on which position you are at so if your the PM that failed to lead or escalate issues earlier than yes. many people assume that PM roles are easier to move around or accelerate in your career but they forget the human part of it which is to manage your stakeholders well. this portion needs a certain level of EQ else is very easy to get blame by the senior management or the working level.

I'm really sorry to hear that I also failed a project assigned by management. HR and my boss sat down with me. I felt like all the blame was being placed on me, which is why I decided to resign.

workplace "friendships." The second you're no longer useful or you become associated with failure, people vanish (I mean some only..)

you're FREE soon! This awkwardness is just part of the transition. Some workplace friendships do survive, they just need space first. Let things breathe and see who reaches out in a month or two. It's okay :)

This awkward phase is SO normal, even if it feels personal. Here's what's great though: you're almost out! You're moving on to new possibilities, and this experience has taught you valuable lessons about workplace dynamics. Some of these relationships might blossom after you leave - sometimes distance helps.
