work thing
|
so we are long-overdue-ly replacing our financial system. there is a team of people who will go work offsite at least half-time for two years or more to get the new system off the ground.
I was selected to go by central administration. this is kind of kickass prestige-wise. my immediate supervisor asked me if I wanted to go and I said, honestly "there are pros and cons. I lean towards yes because ABCD." "I never thought of it that way," she said. "I never would have wanted to go until you said that, but now *I* want to go."
fast forward many months to last week. I had a meeting with the woman who is the overall team lead for the project and I asked her what the new timeline was because I wanted to prepare to go. "oh, I was of the impression that we were only taking one of you and SUPERVISOR, and since she's coming now, I thought you were not."
I knew nothing of this so prodded a bit (very carefully) and the team lead let it slip that said supervisor had gone to unit leadership and told them that she would be going, not me. said supervisor has not yet told me.
obviously I'm super disappointed because I really wanted to go, one, and two, having been asked to go was very complimentary so I worry that I'll look bad having said no (even though I didn't).
it's all politics and it's all bullshit and I feel totally betrayed by my supervisor.
she is VERY confrontation-averse so I'm waiting for her to "blindside" me with the news that she's going instead of me to talk to her about it (she will think she's driving the conversation when in fact, I will be able to).
I hate this shit.
that's all.

That's never good :( But better off not dwelling on it. Those upgrades slice two ways. A lot of times, delays and overbudget projects is bad for team -- (edited)
