It's AIBU and WWYD really and I'm usually pretty good at deciding how to deal with things but I'm at a total loss over this.
I'll have to be deliberately vague so as not to out myself and it's a unusual scenario so bear with me.
I'm trying to break into an industry at the moment. There is a person (man) who is tasked with the job of helping people exactly like me. I've met him a few times and exchanged emails and the problem is he doesn't seem to want to help.
I'm not sure if I'm being oversensitive so I'll try to give you some examples. He often doesn't respond to my emails. On one occassion when I chased him up he told me I wasn't his priority. He never says anything positive about my work and when others do he just seems to close up. I had a couple of really exceptionally good accolades. I told him about them and he said he'd ring me. Then he emailed and said he was ill and couldn't speak.
He told me to do something which turned out to be exactly the wrong thing to do. To be honest, I'd have been well withing my rights to point it out to him but I didn't and he didn't say sorry for his mistake.
Most recently I asked if there was a waiting list for an event I want to attend. He said yes there is but didn't say how I could get onto it, or who to speak to. When I followed up by asking how I could get onto the list, he didn't reply.
I'm so tempted to conctact his line manager but I don't know if I have grounds and I worry about being labelled as trouble.
Any thoughts are welcome.
