Got several texts from a project partner today. Apparently there was supposed to be a team meeting today. I was not aware.
Apparently "we as a group decided that you haven't contributed enough to the project". Despite the fact that this would have been the first meeting, and as far as I know, nobody has really started on it yet. I have about a page or so in answers that address each question, but I don't know what anyone has done so far.
Apparently now I'm being assigned by the group to answer questions one through four, with at least two pages on content for each answer, as punishment for not showing up. There's only four questions in the assignment. I also have to proofread and edit.
Looks like I'm both the one doing all the work and the one going under the bus.
Uh. Either there was a typo in that, or they literally asked you to do literally all the work?
If it wasn't a typo, I would show a teacher that text. When that one person wasn't going to contribute, that's one (super common) thing - probably not worth reporting and dealing with the fallout - but a text like that is certainly big enough to go to the authorities with.
If you're going to report it, the sooner the better. Gives them the teacher time to investigate and make a decision. Last minute complaints look like excuses, even if they aren't.
