Bride faces HR complaint for not inviting co-worker to wedding

A bride faced an HR complaint after not inviting a co-worker to her wedding.

In a post to Reddit forum r/EntitledPeople, the woman wrote of “one of the weirdest work things I’ve ever dealt with”.

After a co-worker asked if she would be invited to the upcoming wedding, u/TraditionalGurSign explained she planned to keep the ceremony small.

Her co-worker’s cold response raised no real alarm bells until the woman was called into a meeting about the incident.

She was told the non-invite was now the subject of a grievance lodged with the human resources (HR) department at her work.

“Turns out she filed a complaint saying I was being ‘exclusive’ and ‘creating a hostile environment by leaving people out’.”

She said the HR department also seemed to be puzzled by the co-worker’s concerns, quickly dropping the complaint after the meeting.

“Some people really do think they’re the main character.”

Wedding invitations can be a sore spot for couples, who often have to trim their guest lists to meet tight budget constraints.

In 2021, a bride-to-be shared her aunt’s RSVP to social media.

The aunt wrote back, “most rude & hurtful” and “family shouldn’t separate family” after her partner was not invited due to Covid-19 restrictions.
