How many of you have had this happen to you? Tons, I bet. It is cheaper for an employer to give you a fancy title than money. I fall into this category. My title is that of a director but, in reality, I'm a secretary. MUCH cheaper. From $65,000 annually (former job) down to $12 per hour, with no benefits. None. Zippo. Nada. When I signed on for my current job, I expected to actually DO something; i.e. use my skills and abilities to make a positive impact. Imagine my surprise when, after a year, I'm still playing secretary/receptionist. Now before those of you who are actually secretaries and receptionists jump my butt for being negative, let me clarify that it's not an easy or fun job. I'm saying that it's not what I signed up to do; it's not what I want to do. Gawd help me. I'm loosing my mind, I think. Do secretaries/receptionists always get made to feel lower than low? or is it just my employer? The Board looks down their considerable noses at me and make me feel like I'm less important. Heck. It's not who I am, folks! Please give me a break...
