Offered Promotion to “admin assistant” when it’s actually “Practice Manager”

Hi All, So yesterday I was offered the role of the Practice Manager, as they recently quit, with additional administrative work on the side. However the job has been offered to me as “Admin assistant” – it was “sold” to me as this with the CEO adding “and also managing the staff” as though it's an admin role with manager responsibilities on the side, however it's very clearly a manager role with administrative support. The CEO made it clear she doesn't want to have anything to do with this business as she's focusing solely on the other aspect of it, which is where I'd be the supporting admin – pulling data to give you her so she's able to make that part of the business viable.

Make your employer pay for carpal tunnel and other repetitive strain injuries

US employers like controlling our health insurance, because it makes us dependent on them for survival, giving them lots of leverage. But repetitive strain injuries like carpal tunnel, and other neck, shoulder, hand, and arm injuries that are costly to treat are [workplace injuries](https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/repetitive-strain-injury-rsi/). That means your employer should be paying for medical treatment for your injury as a [workers compensation claim]( Workers' Comp for Repetitive Strain or Stress Injuries (mycomplawyers.com)). Any adverse action taken against a worker for making a workers compensation claim is typically actionable, depending on your State's law, as illegal retaliation. Don't spend your wages on healthcare your employer should be providing.
