Hello,
I’m trying to sum up easy as possible. Basically we hold an annual event usually locally. This year we are having it in Vegas, I am the one who plans and manages the event so I have been involved since the 1st day. I have also been upfront about my anxiety and I don’t feel comfortable flying or really committing to it and then it comes down to me freaking out the day of and not being able to make it to this event.
I have been with this company for 5 years and I do EVERYTHING they have asked me and more, side things for them personally, work when I’m sick, devote myself 200% to these people basically. I’m an Operations Manager btw.
There have never been any flight discussions prior to this either like during hiring, etc.
So I told them in the BEGINNING I didn’t want to risk committing to flying, that I would take a 3 day drive and transport our supplies. This was the one bosses suggestion first, then at a meeting a month later they all tried to convince me to buy fly. Another 2 months went by and I had a meeting with the other boss and we went over all the 3rd part transport options and my transport option, based on this meeting I thought we were good to go on me transporting and taking the 3 day drive.
Now all of a sudden today (3 months later, and only 5 months before the event) they are harassing me about flying like we never even spoke about it and I haven’t been 100% upfront with them the entire time.
So I texted my boss today (asked him to call but he kept texting) and I flat out told him look I can’t commit to flying as previously discussed I want to drive. If we want to secure transport of supplies that’s fine I’ll take my vacation during that time and use my PTO days and even drive and pay for myself to get out there and back.
He starts acting like a child and telling me to stay and he’ll manage it, acting like it’s no big deal when I do so much for this event. Like the potential risk of me traveling out there myself is so much higher and he should just manage it? Supposedly the big hang up is what if I don’t make it. I told them I will have a full SOP type binder with contact details instructions everything someone would need should something happen, because anything could happen at anytime so it’s good to have as an every year thing no matter how I’m getting to the event.
After I confronted him about they went back on what they said etc. he finally came around and apologized (at one point he even went as far as to whatever I don’t care) but I still feel so under appreciated, hurt, and can’t understand this at all.
Am I just too close to this? Or does this really seem like such a huge deal? Any advice would help!
