Hi All,
Question for the hive mind...a meeting for the project I am involved with is on, I think. Walking across the car park I saw most of the people in it.
I haven't been able to find an email invite or Hipchat mention I have the felling that it might be above my pay grade. So I won't barge in late... thoughts please...
Yup, above my pay grade, I have been invited to the progress meeting next week.

If you weren't invited - don't go. If anyone asks you were you were, tell them that you weren't invited.
It could be an oversight - you haven't been added to all the relevant mailing lists; I wouldn't go paranoid quite yet...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

If you haven't had an invite and it's going on, you will only bring attention to yourself if you do enter late: either they will realize you should have been there from the start, or they'll be all "what is he doing here?"
It's early days with the company - I'd get on with what I was working on yesterday and if anyone comments, just tell the truth: you weren't told it was going on.

Anytime I find out there is a meeting that I could have been invited to but wasn't, I thank my lucky stars!

I wasn't complaining, I was just worried that I may get 'volunteered' to do something horrible like last time (I'm still battling with Ardriuno...)

Last time it was 'Glenn, you know Adruino's dont you?', 'Ah well, yes', 'Oh good do a unit for us that will Ping the units Ethernet ports when the board comes in to verify the connections, now Tim...', no chance for me to say 'but that wont do what you think' or 'Ping does not verify all connections' and most of Ardruino is a type of microcontroller board not a magic wand to solve all your test issues...

We are still sending emails to people that left the company a couple of months ago, with the expected answer that "email address inactive".
Mailing lists are often bad managed and updated too late.
As others told... in this case honesty (you didn't know that you should have been in the meeting) is the best option. If someone still to be blamed, at least it won't be you
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Any meeting you weren't invited to is time for you to get stuff done. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Arrange for a really, really big cake to be delivered. Hide inside it and pop out when it's wheeled into the meeting room. That's sure to make an impression.

Pete, you do that at every meeting!! It's getting really boring now ... especially with the fishnets and bunny-girl ears!

Take it easy. I wasn't invited either!

Don't barge in. It could be a meeting about something completely different that only happens to involve the same people as your project. Like others said, you weren't invited, respect that and use the time to get some real work done.

Clearly the meeting was about you, that's why you weren't invited...
