I'm new to the working world. I've been in this job for about 3 months and joined with a bunch of other grads.
I mentioned to my coworker that I've booked annual leave for my birthday and then they mentioned they too would book that day off so they're not alone? I personally found this rlly strange like why do you need to book the same days off as me?
They then asked which other days I've booked off and I was vague and told them which month but they then asked for which specific days
The thing is they can view the whole departments leave even if I don't tell them. It's just weird tho and I work closely with them everyday.
Also we have flexible working hours and when she finishes later and I'm getting up to leave she makes a puppy face ☹️. I'm not used to attention bc I was always bullied and never had close friends but I find this weird or am I wrong for wanting space?
