Confront a Misunderstanding Immediately
A person in my team had a birthday last week and someone pooled money for a gift. No one asked me to contribute and I didn't realize a collection was being taken up. When they presented the gift, I was embarrassed because my name was not listed on the card. I'm mad for being left out and feel paranoid since I've never been excluded before, as far as I know. How can I handle this?
