I’m in a career field which requires lots of documentation. In fact it’s one of the main parts of the job. I just started at a new company. Company procedure calls for a 10k minimum threshold for documentation. My manager has set a zero dollar threshold for me specifically. Looking at other peoples files it appears I’m the only one this applies too. I’m the only person under her, but my processing time will be measured against others who have to do next to no documentation requirements. It is high volume, and I will likely have to work lots of extra hours to keep up.
Seems like I’m screwed. Do I try to just go back to my old company? As for now my plans to try to make it a year before transferring within the company or leaving as to not take a career set back.
I don’t mind working, I don’t mind documentation. I do mind non value added work and being an uneven playing field with coworkers.
