In my opinion it is always ill intentioned, but I want to see if others feel the same.
I was in a meeting today that I likely shouldn’t have been. The discussion was way over my head and outside of my expertise. A lot of data discussion when I work in media relations.
Me and 2 other colleagues didn’t contribute much if anything. As the meeting ended and everyone was saying “farewell”, one person ( not my boss & doesn’t work in my dept.) asked
“[insert my name] You haven’t really said anything, do you have anything to add?”
Obviously if I had something to say I would have. I just said “no, have a good day”.
Just curious why people do this, why I was the only one called out, and how to get around situations like this in the future. Particularly when the content is over my head and hard to follow.
