How would you know if you were part of a clique?

<p>Fallon Siniscarco started us off by talking about how cliques can make someone feel like they are superior or better than other people.</p> <p> </p> <p>Kim Clark went next talking about cliques in the workplace and how the use of acronyms and are jargon that outsiders don’t understand could be a way to notice you’re in a clique.</p> <p> </p> <p>Stewart Wiggins then asked a provocative question – Are cliques a bad thing or are they just a derivative of a group of people having common interests? He went on to say he thought a clique could be a positive thing.</p> <p> </p> <p>I disagreed saying that a clique by definition excludes and even trying to make people feel badly about not being included.</p> <p> </p> <p>In the end I have a few questions for you – Are cliques always negative? Have you ever been in one? If so, what told you that you were?</p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with the panelists: Fallon Siniscarco: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/fallon-siniscarco-889558267/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/fallon-siniscarco-889558267/</a></p> <p>Student Utica university studying occupational therapy.
