Have you talked to your manager? Maybe start with a question like the following:
For some reason I don't seem to be connecting with my coworkers as well as I
expected. (Give a concrete example.) I feel I would be more productive if
we were more cohesive as a team. Do you have any ideas how to solve this?
It obviously depends on your manager. I'm assuming it's somebody who is motivated to help you achieve your best. That's unfortunately not always the case.
p.s., I said "we were more cohesive" to avoid the assumption that it's just your fault. It sounds like a team dynamics issue.
- the_biot 4y agoI agree that this is absolutely your manager's problem to fix, but going to them is risky. If you've got a bad manager on your hands, they may just take it to mean you should be fired, and that will solve the problem.
- hodgesrm 4y agoYes, that happens unfortunately. You have to make a choice whether you trust that person, just like any colleague. :/
