A friend of mine , who I also worked with for a short time , has asked me out for lunch with a group of ex-colleagues ( common to both her and me ) on a couple of occasions
Both times , I have had a genuine reason for not going . I know that she will ask me again but feel uneasy about this as , in the group, are people who I didn’t get on with at work and actually caused me trouble in my role as a manager
There are also people who are fine but I don’t know them that well
I don’t want to upset my friend nor do I want to burden her with some of the resentment I feel towards some of the colleagues ;( I don’t wish them any harm but am happy to not see them again )
What would you do ? Would you go anyway or make an excuse next time she asks ?
Heated Brush recommendation,please.
