    I've no intention of bringing them in anything. I will however continue to be helpful and friendly and see how it goes. There's not much else I can do at the moment.

    Are they mainly women Paulie ?

    Exactly. It's crap, them all walking off at lunch etc, but to hell with them.
    Keep plugging on, and keep an eye out for a bit of camaraderie across the floor, with members of other teams.
    And if you can, meet up with others for lunch. There's no excuse for cliquey behavioiur, but all you can do for the minute is keep on as you are.

    How did you deal with the complaints?

    Honestly it was very awkward.
    It was against a cluster rather an individual so I had to take them through a class based review of the bullying section of the disciplinary policy, with the new guy sitting there.

    It took time, he did his own thing and when over time it was obvious that he was smarter than most of the existing team he slowly integrated.
    I’m not sure the complaint or the subsequent refresher did any good, possibly if he’d just put down his head it would have been quicker.

    Don't make a complaint about it if they want them to like you or become friendly with them. If you complain they will just hate you and still won't make any effort.

    You can't force people to socialise with other people in work. A claim of bullying would be very difficult to prove and realistically, what would you expect to change if you did report them?

    its pathetic behaviour from so called adults and tbh thry ahould be ashamed of themselves.
    chances are one is behind this crap. it only ever takes one to be the bully and the others to be spineless.
