A woman has been left gobsmacked after her co-worker complained about her to HRbecause she didn't invite her to her wedding. She explained how her co-worker learned about her wedding through various work conversations- and was puzzled why she wasn't invited.
However, she says she doesn't hang out with this woman outside of work - and would say their relationship is pleasant but doesn't extend beyond the office. She said on Reddit: "This was honestly one of the weirdest work things I’ve ever dealt with. There’s a woman in my office I’m friendly with, but not close to. We’ve had small talk here and there, nothing deep. No lunches together. No real outside-of-work connection.
"She found out I was getting married and asked when the wedding was. Then she straight up asked if she was invited.
"I kind of laughed and said, 'Oh no, it’s really small. Just close friends and family'. I didn’t think anything of it.
"She got quiet and a little cold after that, but I figured okay, maybe awkward moment, whatever."
A few days later, she was sent an invite from HR wanting to discuss a complaint that had been lodged against her.
She added: "Turns out she filed a complaint saying I was being 'exclusive' and 'creating a hostile environment by leaving people out'. Because I didn’t invite her. To my wedding. That I’m paying for. That isn’t even work-related.

"So I had to sit in this HR meeting and explain that I’m not required to invite co-workers I barely know to my literal wedding. That it’s a personal event. That it has nothing to do with work or who’s in the office.
"HR honestly looked just as confused as I was. They basically said, “'ep, okay, thanks,' and closed the case."
However, now she is acting "super passive-aggressive" whenever she's around - making small comments when she's within earshot and giving her "side-eyes".
She added: "She still bringing it up in these weird sarcastic comments like 'Some people are so inclusive these days'.
"I can’t believe she actually thought HR could... what, make me invite her? Some people really do think they’re the main character."
Commenting on her post, one user said: "While she was delusional in filing her nonsensical complaint, her comments and attitude toward you are legitimate grounds for you to file a complaint against her - and you definitely need to do so before things get worse."
Another user added: "This is the type of guest that comes without a gift, eats a lot of food, makes others uncomfortable, takes home a shit load of leftovers and a centrepiece." A third user said: "I would report her to HR for creating an uncomfortable environment now."
