I’d be really grateful for some help with something. I think maybe I’m being a bit slow. 8 people in a room all with different perspectives on an issue, good meeting with lots of discussion. Team leader says we need to establish a working group who will then produce a report. I offer to be on the WG as do others. I think what was said that myself and another can rotate re future meetings or or something. Others were asked specifically to be on it. Afterwards I went to ask for clarification as the other person and I were really keen to both attend stuff as it’s a really interesting project and our area. I was told it’s more efficient to have less people on the WG to get things done. This does make sense. But I’m not clear, am I on the WG or not? And am I involved in the report writing or not? I’d love to be even though it’s extra work and no extra pay but I’m just really interested in it. I still don’t feel clear what my role is if I only attend some meetings but not all. Responses to me were quite spiky as though I was challenging things but I was only try to show keenness and understand the scope of what was being asked. I’m very tired and menopausal so maybe getting myself in knots and/or said things in the wrong way but I was really surprised at the tone.
Have I behaved unreasonably? I worry I’ve made a mess of things. Please be kind, I’ve been quite teary and feel confused.
