Invisible and angry

work for a large public sector organisation. There are 3 of us on the same pay grade. The other 2 had the same job title and mine was a slight variation of the one that they had. A while ago our Managing Director suggested that my job title should be changed, which we changed but retaining the same pay grade as the other 2.
In January there is to be review of all job roles. The other 2 on the same pay grade have met with the Managing Director and Service Director and have had job planning and new portfolios set. I have not had this.
Next week there is a workshop planned to look at the staffing review where today I have been told that the other two on the same pay grade are going to be part of and will be supporting with the new revised structure. I have not been invited to attend this workshop.
I do not feel or think it is appropriate that the other 2 are to be involved in decisions and discussions relating to my post which may result in my role being cut.
I have had supervision with my manager and I have raised all of this weeks ago and he said that he would write to the MD and ask for job role clarity and job planning but he hasn't done this.
I have bills to pay and I am very concerned about what may happen and I feel like I have been treated unfairly and I feel invisible.
Additionally, one of the 2 met with MY team around new processes when I was on annual leave and never told me about the meetings. They went ahead and did work I had naturally assumed I would be doing with my team.
My wellbeing and confidence is being battered daily and i do not know how to proceed when it feels my line manager isn't hearing me.

Are you a member of a union?

The whole job title / pay grade thing is confusing.

You’ve always had a variation on your title. That means your job descriptions are different, otherwise they would be the same. Unless you can iron out exactly what the differences in your responsibilities are, you can’t for certain know if you’re deliberately being sidelined, or you just think you should be involved but it’s not part of your role.

Pay grades can also be deceiving. You can be in the same banding as someone but have completely different responsibilities.

Grade and job spec are 2 entirely different things
