I'm technically a receptionist at a small business, that keeps getting more and more responsibilities and more and more work piled on them without getting any title change. As of being here one year:
- I calculate employees hours – calculate their OT, premium OT, prevailing wage hours, PPE hours, etc.
- Onboard new employees – run background checks, get all their tax, personal, and banking paperwork, and set them up all work accounts and cell phone/computer
- I plan first of the month lunch meetings – where I have to drive MY PERSONAL CAR to pick up the food
- I fit and order new employee uniforms
- I have to keep a spreadsheet of all employees passwords, uniforms, assets, and I'm responsible for collecting them all if they quit/are fired
All the while doing normal receptionist duties – file, reply to leads, schedule inspections, answer the phones, keep my candy bowl full for greedy technicians who take it by the handful – and still getting referred to as “the front desk gal” :'))))
I never want to work for a big corporation – but fuck, working for small businesses is so hard as well. I don't even know what to do anymore.
