Do you ever feel like everything at work is too much? I have been feeling like this for some time and being a Personal Assistant it is part of the course. However recently my job has become increasingly busy to the point I don't feel I can do it effectively enough. So I plucked up the courage and did my homework and went to see my boss who is one of the nicest people I know and the Managing Director.
I spoke about what was wrong, my concerns and asked for three specific things - a more defined role and some of the work to be distributed elsewhere, an office move and last but not least a pay rise. Guess what, I got all three requests.
He was incredibly understanding especially when I showed him in writing just exactly what I did, I think it took him back a little. He asked which parts of the job I want him to distribute elsewhere. I feel so much more positive now and need to be patient to let him sort it all out. Best of all an office move away from the current little office which happens to be opposite our kitchen which must be the worse place to be, so no more listening to tittle tattle. I loathe it
