I am not sure if this is the right sub but I would like to hear your thoughts if that's okay? I am feeling a lot of dread possibly because I subconsciously hyperfocus on the negative – I don't know and need some advice.
I am at uni and joined a club that made my role seem simple and reassured me there will be no work during exam season. Well it was not. Term has begun and I got more work today. i pointed out they told me no work during exam season and they offered to do it which I said yes to. They said there will be just a meeting but again if I am told to do anything I will remind them of the agreement However, I thought it was an easy task and so to make it look like I was doing something I said something like 'But I will do it if you have finalise the list' which the president said he did.
Today I received an email of “suggestions” to improve my email which can improve my career. usually, I am open to care but this feels like nitpicking and the president is also bit of a micromanager. I would leave however I am also a participant on the programme.
I regret sending the email today but also am thing am I just being a difficult club member?
My exams are my top priority and I am just secretary for this society – it's not something I am willing to give my life to. The president seems to have latched onto the idea hat a leader delegates role however does not realise that this does not mean one person does all the work.
Also as secretary I send the mail merges and write the email, make the spreadsheets, make the Google forms, chase people up, organise meetings, make group chats and Slack which I realise is the role of a secretary. However, this is just a society and not a job and it feels unfair they are just unloading all this on me. Can I complain about this?
