I am a tutor teaching a hobby . I also belong to a hobby group similar to what I teach .
some months ago , after some of my work was admired at a group session I offered to run a day course at the group . This was readily accepted , a date sorted and terms agreed verbally . I started preparing for it .
Last week I was sent the contract forms ( all taught sessions are paid by the group ,) for that event.I was intending to hand them in in person yesterday .
Yesterday, the group postponed due to the weather but the full programme for the year was sent out in a email to everyone with my day missing .
I was confused and politely enquired , was this a mistake ?
The email back said No it was intentional and instead they wanted me to do a 20 minute slot at a shared session at another time of the year .
I cannot teach what I proposed in 20 minutes and was not asked about my availability. The original session is unfilled . So it’s not as though something has to give .
I was rather taken aback at the change so late in the day and without consulting me , I sent a curt email back .
instead of an apology , I received another email this morning acknowledging the change and asking me to do another task for the group!
Am I being sensitive or is this rude ?
