TLDR: VP has a task that I started handling on the hope of compensation. Years pass. Everyone in the chain thinks it's my job now but I have never been compensated for it. How do I stop?
We had a team of Account Representatives here who were old and dumb as rocks when it comes to technology. They were each the point-of-contact between our company and the outside business customers who receive product and database/emails/announcement files from us. Even while they were here, they were infamous for being just the “let me forward that to someone else” team of useless twats.
That entire team is now gone, either through death or retirement, and the VP who is -on paper- the Team Leader, absorbed all of their duties and accounts, while the company slowly decided whether they even needed to hire replacements. One of the things that they all were supposed to be doing, I was asked if I could handle coverage for it in the interim while the VP got himself caught up.
2 years later, a team of 3 have been hired to be Account Reps again, but none of them have taken back the responsibility for the task that I have been covering all this time. I was willing to do it on the assumption that it would be appreciated and reflected in my reviews, but I haven't had an employee review in 3 years now and there's no sign that anything is going to change until I make a fuss.
So, how do I fuss about it without just getting fired?
Thank you and have a great day!
