In the last year,
we've gone from 15 employees to 4.
I was originally hired as the executive assistant to the CEO (the boss), but as we've laid more people off, those of us left have been taking up the slack. Fair enough, I have no problem packing units, adding extras to orders, dealing with gnarly customers.
What I have a problem with is taking a manual paycheck and staggering it so everyone else gets paid on payday (not that the other 3 know that), but being expected to do 3 other peoples jobs and when I ask for help from the other three they tell me "not my job".
All the time while they're talking a day off to take the dog to get neutered, spending half a day on eBay 'cos his jeans don't fit, taking a day unpaid each week to go snowboarding.

So I bitched at my boss about it tonight..........his response?

"I know I've been putting too much on you and was expecting this 2 months ago. Take the day off tomorrow, formulate a plan to re-distribute workloads and we'll discuss it over breakfast on Thursday. And make sure you turn your fishing receipt in for reimbursement"

Len, you're fucking ace!
