I’m great at my job and I generally enjoy what I do. More good days then bad.
That said, my job does come with a lot of responsibilities that can create unpredictable increase of workload.
This is one of those weeks… it’s been a lot.
I met with my boss ( the CEO) and explained the plan to move some things forward and expressed that I feel overwhelmed. They reassured me that I have their full support – and if I need ANYTHING to let them know.
Okay great…
Today I wake up to messages of my CEO asking me if I’ve sent some contracts off the the new clients?
Not my clients, not my department, not my responsibility to send contracts! So, I let them know this.
They come back to me again asking if I can just “update the brand of the document” and send it back to them.
Now I’m in twilight zone. Again, we have someone at the company whose job this is.
All of a sudden the boss went from, “I’ll support you because I know your supper busy,” to, “please do all these administrative tasks even though we have people who do these jobs.”
What the hell is going on? I feel a bit crazy right now.
