Can you help me about a work related issue? |
I work in human resources. im basically a front desk clerk. I do have a co-worker. right now I am on a temporary assignment to a higher position. One of the ladies retired and I am temporarily doing her work with a higher salary- well only a dollar and some more that what I was making before. Both jobs can be completed for the most part at the front desk. The new supv. for the other department is constantly trying to give me work that someone got behind on which was not in the terms of my assignment, she is suggesting that I do 20 hrs in the retirement dept which my boss says thats a no-no. there is no way that I can be away from the front counter for 4 hrs a day and get caught up with my work and w/o inconviencing my co-worker. Well my assignment ends july 31st. I am thinking about not taking the offer to extend it if it is given. I feel that they are trying to make me do the grunt work that no one else wants to do. I refuse to get behind on my work by helping someone else. Define the problem better. Is the issue that you are caught between two supervisors with competing demands? OR Is the issue that you don't want to do the work that the second supervisor is asking you to do? If the first issue is the real problem, then talk to your direct supervisor. Let him know that the requests from the other supervisor is causing confusion and stress. You can't serve two masters. Make sure you are not complaining or whining to him. Just state the facts and ask for help with clarification of your job responsibilities. Also, ask permission from him that if the other supervisors come to you with requests for work, that you can politely say, "Sorry, Mr ____, specifically requested that I concentrate on this job." On the other hand, if you don't like the work, then say nothing, other than "thanks, but I have another offer." first thing you cannot do other peoples assignments its wrong and double work for you and not fair on you if you get caught doing other assignments which you were not assigned to you could get in trouble with your recruiter or employer . dont do it dont lose your job. if they asked you to do it just tell them you cannot becuase you were not assigned to do that job. As long as your own boss is behind you, there is very little the other supervisor can do to force you away from your position. Don't take the extension if you have another job lined up or you know that the employment agency can place you somewhere else. Otherwise, I would agree to stay until September 1st. It is easier to find another position in the fall when the students have gone back to school. If you are working through a staffing firm, you should speak with your recruiter regarding the matter. The client has to get approval from the agency first before giving you more work. You were place on assignment to be a HR clerk only. Work for a staffing firm |
