Ok so I am having one of those days and need to vent!! Ok so if you didnt figure it out from the title I am an Admin. Assistant. Yes I work the front desk and no I'm not just a receptionist....I am the assistant to our Director. Which basically sums up that I am the grunt worker. I get hardly any respect, just because I am the low man on the totem pole!! I do a little bit of everyone's jobs. If anyone needs anything I'm the "go-to" person for the job. I do all kinds of stuff, thats why my manual on my job is over 200 pages. It tells all the job duties I have to do. And that doesnt even have all the odd jobs I do for people in it. I am sick of people throwing things at me and just expecting me to do everything for them. Ok an example I take care of two full kitchens (we have two suites in a building, so two kitchens) and I make sure everything is stocked at all times and take an inventory every night....well one day somebody wrote me and said that we were out of soap....I told them that there should be some under the sink....well without a pause they wrote back and said they didnt see any so I walk all the way to the other side of the building and look under the sink and there it is so I fill it up. It happens all the time with all kinds of items, people say we are out of something when its just that they are too lazy to open a cabinet and look to see if there is any overstock stored away. And some days I'll get an e-mail from my boss (that somedays hates me and others loves me) and she'll tell me that people are complaining saying we are running out of things...well I have tried to explain to her what is happening and she doesnt believe me!!
OOOHHHH it makes me so mad
....I am 23 almost 24 and I am sick of being treated this way. OOOH another good one....we have a coffee machine in each kitchen that has 3 burners on it....well one day someone walks to my desk and asks "did you see the mess in the kitchen?" I said no and I went to check it out and someone had taken the time to put a filter in the holder and put coffee in it and turn it on BUT they forgot the most important detail THE COFFEE POT!! can you believe that?? Then they all expected me to clean it up!! And to this day we still dont know who it was!! Needless to say I didnt touch that mess....I am not the cleaning crew....these people are all grown adults....and they make quite a bit of money but my god....shouldnt they clean up after themselves...even a little bit?? GRRRR
Ok so I wanted to throw some of this out there just in case you have somebody like me working in your office....just remember if you want that person to do something for you....do something nice for them....and at least say thank you and mean it because people dont much do that for me and it makes my job better when the people do recognize what I do for them. Oh and by the way I have been working here for almost 2 years so they aren't doing this to me because I am new lol. Thanks for letting me vent!! Anyone else have these type problems?!?!
