I started a new job as a part time WFH Executive Assistant working around 25 hours a week. It's for a small company where only the owner and I work in the office and we have a few guys in the field.
I was hired to answer the phone, manage the company's CRM, do a few sales call a day, manage document filing/revising and general office duties. Part of why I accepted the job is because it required less of me than my previous positions, which made sense because it was only part time. Less stress, less money. Cool.
Unfortunately, I'm starting to feel lied to and taken advantage of. My list of duties grows larger every single week. Every time I complete a new task I'm given multiple new responsibilities.
I'm managing deliveries, I'm managing trade partners, I'm doing extremely complicated excel/powerpoint/word template creation from scratch, I'm managing time sheets, I'm screening & interviewing new employees, I'm generating financial documents, managing QuickBooks and the list goes on and on.
Now I've now been requested to make SOPs for the entire company and this is expected of me ASAP. Both my previous company's had multiple Quality Control personnel tasked with managing SOPs…
My workload is currently equivalent to a salaried position but I'm somehow expected to complete it all in 20 hours a week. Additionally, when I look at our company website we're currently hiring a Project Manager and the required tasks are basically all the tasks I'm performing currently.
The Project Manager salary is literally double mine.
Any advice? I'm at the point where I've started looking for a new job as every day I become increasingly annoyed that I'm being taken advantage of.
Is this situation salvageable?
