Don't want to be accused of drip feeding but also can't give away any identificable features as could make things worked. Am sooo p*ssed off at the situation and don't know what to do.
Will try and give as much detail as pos while still keeping things anonymous. There was a meeting held at work last week about putting in a bid to create a community space. The lady that was all for it was the Line Manager of all the centres where this possible community space could be created. She came to the meeting to specifically tell us about this and what sort of things we could do with the money if the bid was successful. I looked at the best community space to meet our needs and put in a bid ( as discussed with said line manager and rung her to tell her. She knew what the bid was for and said yes it was all fine and I could put it in, knew the location of said bid and agreed it all etc). So all fine and dandy or so I thought.
Today, one of the "Bigger Bosses" so to speak found out and went mad saying that this bid should not have been allowed to go in and that the person who manages the community space I put in a bid to add to, was fuming that she had not been consulted. The only reason I didn't speak to her was that her line manager had agreed it all and I said ( as evidenced in an email) that I would discuss with the woman who manages the space if the bid was successful. I would of course have spoken to her had it not been for her line Manager saying to go ahead. There was no mention of discussing it with her yesterday.
The Line Manager, who previously okayed it all by phone has ( a day later) now sent me an email back-tracking ( after she was told off about it) saying the bid was not what we agreed at all. I'm
as she's lying to cover her ass as the "Big Boss" has been on to her saying the bid should never have been put in. She claims the bid was NOTHING like we agreed and she had "concerns" with it. It was exactly as discussed on the phone and no chance of cross wires as we chatted about it yesterday and all was well.
The big boss has now been on to me saying I need to apologise to the lady who manages the community space as she is very cross and that the "biggest boss" is going to hit the roof. He is also cross with me, though as far as I was concerned, I followed all the procedures correctly and made him aware of this. I also pointed out how a similar setting in the same town had won this funding recently and his response to that was that they should never have bid for it either.... ( Well if this was the case why didn't he make us all aware of this before!)
I know there isn't much I can do except grovel to everyone but I feel cross that she is lying to cover herself and pass the buck. AIBU to be annoyed?
