Sharing my frustration here

I’ve always been mentioned as an excellent performer by my manager since I joined the project. I received good feedback from my manager and team lead as well. Recently I’ve been shifted to a new team and the team mates don’t cooperate at all. As I’m new to the work that I’ve been doing in this team, sometimes I ask for guidance from my team mates or team lead. The team lead hardly responds to my texts. In most of the cases I’ve been learning and solving my problems by myself as I don’t receive any response neither from my team lead nor the other team mate. There was a major issue triggering recently, I was able to find the cause of the problem but I didn’t have much idea on how to solve it properly…regarding which I was constantly informing and asking for the solution to my team lead and my team mate. But neither of them responded and the issue got escalated and my team lead complaint to the manager while being questioned that me and the other team mate weren’t checking on the issue on a everyday basis. The same manager who had always been praising for the quality of my work and performance, questioned me rudely on the issue today that I wasn’t checking on the issue even after being assigned and didn’t let me speak my opinion on it.

Nothing… just sharing here out of frustration as I can’t do anything rather than just listening to the seniors. Coz they’re after all “Seniors”/“Managers” and as a fresher we can’t really do anything about it rather than just listening and obeying them.

I want your opinions regarding my situation.

Whether you are a fresher or senior or manager - you have the right to voice your opinions. Remember, your attitude is everything.

That’s so true… but after that incident yesterday I’ve realised that sometimes you lose your right to voice your opinions in corporate life

The best option first is reach out directly over slack or something, and if there's no response, put it in mail. That's some solid proof and officially setting context and expectation. If things go wrong, the entire thread can be used as well. Also, do follow up frequently depending on the priority

Sounds like you rubbed some people the wrong way and now they are venting. Can’t do much about it. Just carry on.
