I work as customer support for a small company, and the job description did include “work on projects,” but I didn't expect them to have me as their fucking graphic designer. Sure, it's on my resume as part of my experience, but to have me do graphic design which takes up SO much of my time, on top of continuing to do customer support full time is so draining. I seriously do not feel like a customer support agent sometimes, considering how many other projects I'm doing for the company.
I don't know why, but when my boss said “have fun with the project!” it pissed me off so bad. I think that he thinks that this is something that I enjoy doing just because it's on my resume and something I used to do as a hobby. He thinks he's doing me a favor my giving me these projects and calls it “extra credit” to me and my team. Sure, I'm getting the experience, but I'm not getting paid enough for the workload.
I've started searching for a different job, but will it continue to be like this at other jobs? I don't mind taking on projects at the company, but if it's in relation to the job title/description. I'd rather not be a customer support agent/ graphic designer of a company again…
