So I have been with my current company for a year. My boss and a senior coworker has recently been giving away my daily duties and some month-end duties away to others because one of my coworkers would like to get more involved within my area (treasury). My performance review is soon, is this a red flag?
A lot of the things I was doing seemed to be grunt work my senior coworker didn’t want, but gave to me when I onboarded since a lot of the items are admin type things such as checking bank deposits, reconciliations, copying & pasting bank statement line items and analyzing the transactions.
When I started, my boss thought I didn’t have enough experience since I only had 3 years, so I was given the admin duties of treasury. Over the past year, I have proven that I know what I am doing, but I am stuck in this role because my senior coworker keeps telling my boss how great I am because I helped them automate some of their entries and do really well at the reconciliations. Apparently, the senior coworker told my boss that I have been helping out more and my boss asked if we could train the other coworker who asked if they could help in treasury since I’ve taken on more duties, which has resulted in the senior coworker & my boss giving away almost all my duties to where I have nothing left to do…
How do I let my boss know I’d like to help out in other areas?
