(Sorry for grammar)
22F. Clients cannot wait to yell at me for mistakes my BOSS makes. I work for a small company that has more clients than my boss can handle. He loves to accept jobs when he is already behind on others.
He is also, of course, too cheap to hire help for me in the office. He does a lot of the physical labor, along with his handful of workers, while I run the entire office by myself.
I am usually the middle man of communication between him and clients. He misses a deadline, I am the one who gets yelled at. He doesn't uphold his promises to the clients, the client gets mad at me. When I absolutely need to escalate things and have him call the clients, they are a WHOLE different person! They are so nice to him. Why do I deserve to be yelled at when I am simply relaying information from HIM.
A few other things I hear so often that annoy me are “oh are you the owners daughter?” because of course a young female cant be an office manager without being related to the owner right????
“shouldn't you be in school?” I graduated college.
“no offence, but is there a man I can speak to?” sorry buddy I am the only one here.
A little tangent: I had a lady who needed services done but refused to give me her address. Said she will only give it to the owner because she is very serious about her privacy.. The owner calls her to get the address and she says “Im sorry your secretary left it to you to get my information.” EXCUSE ME KAREN?? He of course knew she was talking nonsense.
Anyways thanks for reading if you did, I just needed to get this off my chest.
