Anonymous wrote:Say during a meeting, out of nowhere you are questioned and implied that you have not met expectation. The issue being questioned was never discussed with you before and you followed the general practice where many people did before. Obviously, it was not an issue for others, yet when you do it, you become the only one being questioned (and in public, as a surprise). What's a good strategy to respond? The issue was raised in a way as if you were not meeting some generally good character (e.g., teamwork, collaboration), though your practice was no different from others. Should you defend yourself and point out that there's never a discussion before and it's not an unusual practice. Or should you ask to talk in private (in which case, it may appear to other attendees that you admit the accuse). I'm sure there's a better way to respond?
When this happened to me, I vocally called out the person and told them I did the work and next time would they like me to hand deliver the item to them. lol š Iām not sure if it was the right move but I was never questioned again.
