My boss sends an email to a new client today and says “let me intoduce you to my management team.” And proceeded to list off most of her nepotistic relatives and some other half-wits as either VPs or directors of some department. The boss described me as someone's “assistant” and the “help”. She ended the email with hope everyone has a nice holiday weekend.
Now, I run my very own department, the manger of another, help out in nearly every other department, and do some of the highest level work that there could be to do in a big corporation, without it going to the lawyer. I get forwarded work that is too difficult for the supposed “VPs” and “Directors” of these other various departments. They pass work onto me and apparently take the credit. I single-handedly just got us revalidated with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (Medicare) and I'm the “assistant” and the “help”? (again, work that was forwarded to me). I replied to her email and stated is that all you think of me is an “assistant”? That's crumby.”
Hope you all have a nice holiday weekend.
