I have a relatively good job and am grateful for having one, but lately I am starting to feel resentful towards it and my boss. It's a smallish company, 7 employees and lots of sub-contractors. I am the only female in the company and the oldest by around 20years! Usually, I don't mind that as I tend to keep my head down and get on with my work. This year has been stressful for all but we've managed to get through things. But things have slowly started to happen that first irked me then outright pissed me off.
It started off with whenever the chaps were talking about something, it would always end with 'ask Braveface...' i.e. I have to sort it out, even if I have no clue what they are talking about. (I do the accounts, so I guess the fall back is that I can make a 'payment' for something once I have sourced that damn thing!) I deal with it by telling whoever asked, you find the source, I will make the payment.
Then for some reason - which I know why - I got lumbered with having to do the Christmas decorations/ sorting catering for the 'party', which I didn't even attend as I was off that day.
Then my boss asked for a specific financial report which could not be done as he had never told me about a new project they were working on that needed financial tracking. He told me, in front of a colleague, that I am not doing my job properly. I was pissed. A week later he tells me that I need training on the accounts package. Now I am really pissed off. I called our accountants and asked them to unlock the accounts package so that I could make some alterations to run a report, also vented a bit too and they were supportive.
If I book time off, I am always getting messages/ calls about something. At first I didn't mind - just have to do what needs to be done. But now I am angry and don't want to do it anymore. Boss closed the office on Fri 20th, but I went in on the 22nd as that was when the payroll came to me so I could pay salaries/ sub-contractors. Oh, and I am also the lowest paid member of staff but was the first 'employee'.
Sorry, I know I am venting but I always took/ take pride in my work. And I have achieved a lot of things with the company, which frankly wasn't in place in before or even thought about.
It's back to work on Wed 6th Jan - I just don't want to go back feeling like this. Any ideas/ thoughts please?
