i am soooo pissed OMG IM SO GONNA GET FIRED UPDATED! lol

so at my 'new' job one of my boss's had put in her 2 weeks notice. Until they hire someone else I am taking over her responsibilities as well as all of my own, with no pay increase. I am doing double the work and making the same $$$, let alone the fact that I am barely comfy at my own f*cking job let alone hers!!!!!

That *****! It seems like maybe they are taking advantage of you - This is a boss' position that you have to do - there should be more money - or give you the promotion!

Re: i am soooo pissed

that really s u c ks, and how unfair to you, they should pay you at least double while they found someone or better yet you should be offered the position. I feel your pain.

Re: i am soooo pissed

One of my biggest peeves about the magazine industry!! They do it all the time...
That SAME exact thing happened to me at my first job. It totally stinks.
BUT-STAY STRONG!!
You get GREAT exposure, and you can now put all of those added responsibilites on your resume. I did, and when I went on interview for my next job (where I went for a higher position) I told them I filled in for my boss for X amount of weeks. It totally helped!
I promise it will help you in the long run!!

Michi:

Stuff like that happens all the time. Trust me when I say the best thing to do right now is just to grin and bear it.

You don't want to burn unnecessary bridges. People NEVER get paid extra to do other people's work that left the company. At least not immediately.

The best thing you can hope for is a satisfactory review and a decent raise after a year of working there.

Re: i am soooo pissed OMG IM SO GONNA GET FIRED UPDATED! lol

You actually have an opportunity to learn something new and prove what an asset to the company you are/will be. Instead of feeling slighted or pissed off they didn't offer you a HUGE raise, why not take the opportunity to soak up as much as you can.
I think you are new to the company, right? Well just like everyone else you have to prove your worth and this is the opportunity to really get in there and make this happen ...
That way when you do sit down for a review/raise you have ammunition. And if you don't get what you want at least you can walk away with that much more on your resume.

Re: i am soooo pissed OMG IM SO GONNA GET FIRED UPDATED! lol

They need you more than you need them right now. Just keep it low key and do what you have to do, and ask for help. It should pay off in the long run and if it doesn't...Sayonara!

Well, I hope that doesn't happen, but if that is a chance you are willing to take it is good that you spoke up. People think that new people will do whatever to get ahead & then they take advantage of it.
It is bad enought to cover for an equal or subordinate, but seriously, if you could do your bosses job, why would you be this entry level position?

Re: i am soooo pissed OMG IM SO GONNA GET FIRED UPDATED! lol

exactly, i m getting paid 33k!!!!! i mean isnt that like so little, the fact that they r taking advantage of me doesnt seem worth 'the learning experience' i dunno maybe its just me, i wanna do my job and go the F home...not soak up as much knowledge as i can.. i could care less ya know..especially when it is not appreciated at all!!!

Do you want to ever make more than $33k a year? This is a good road to take to get more $$$ in the future.
Stop looking at the instant gratification aspect of it and look at what it can bring you down the road ... you have how many more years to retirement??? Soak up the knowledge/experience now and you'll be rewarded in the future ...

I understand what you are saying and maybe it is time for you to move on and find something new, but I think you should think about where you are (company reputation), what you are doing (your position now), what you are going to be doing (your former bosses duties) and what it is going to get you in the future (a better position within the company, padding your resume, more money, more leveraging power, etc). It may be worth it to suck it up for a few months (3 months, 6 months or longer) to gain that experience and reap those benefits or maybe not. It's for only you to decide what is best for you. Good luck.

Re: i am soooo pissed OMG IM SO GONNA GET FIRED UPDATED! lol

I would take it as a good opportunity. You don't seem so concerned about the job so maybe you want to get fired? If you do your bosses job and your own I would use it as leverage when I get my review and ask for more money.

But in todays enviornment it is normal for people to quit and someone else to take on their work with no extra pay.
