am i being disrespected ?
Hi all. I need your opinion on this. I am volunteering with an all girls community that organizes workshops, get-togethers etc. I can't say too much. I am usually the one handling their social media. part of the official team.
but i am starting to see that what i say has no value in the team. we had an event and the team asked me to look for a sports partners. and i did. i got a really awesome deal too. they offered to give everything i asked for, for free.
but then the rest of the team suddenly said no need, what are we getting from it blah blah. it was really humiliating because i was calling some many numbers, reaching out to people, to onboard any sports partners into the event, in the middle of my actual working hours. There i was going in and out of my office (i have a job, this is just a volunteer thing) in a frenzy trying to get a good deal for our team.
I had to cancel on the group that gave me the deal and it really upset me because i want to have a relationship with these groups and be on good terms with them.
In fact, i spoke to my team leader before confirming with that particular sports group. i said "this is what are getting" and "this is what they need from us". leader said okay we can go ahead. then a few days later the team started grumbling about it. saying we don't need the sports group. so i had to say no to the sports people. sports people were understandably upset.
then there was a social media post that was supposed to go out. The designer completely ignored the content i gave and did her own thing. i kept saying please change but she did not.
she said the content i gave was confusing and the leader of our team also took the designer's side.
today i saw that it was posted without making any of the changes i asked.
This happens all the time. i spend hours on content and all of its just ignored. and apparently its my fault that there is a disparity between the actual design and the design directions i give?
this consistently keeps happening. the content and design direction i give is ignored. i spend hours on it and thats just discarded.
I really want to leave this team. the only reason i am staying is because we have an upcoming event and i don't want to throw them under the bus if i leave now. cus the team is pretty small.
I just feel like i do all the dirty work and all that is just ignored or has no value whatsoever. i am the person who does everything they say, but not allowed to be a part of the decision making.
what do i do?
