WHAT WILL YOU DO IF YOU WERE IN MY PLACE AND FACED WITH SUCH DIFFICULTY? HELP?

Question

Using friend account --- I am 29 years old woman with a child who is recently diagnosed with autism and I am at the stage of getting divorce because simply my husband doesn't want to be in the house with my child who is 10 and he started relationship else where. Long story short I started looking for a job to support my child's needs. I have mba and had worked previously as manager. The new job i got is small firm and the position I am given is assistant line manager( salary is low for my qualification and experience but I took the job as I need it now). From day one I have got bad vibes and hostile reception from most staff. The head of dept introduced me to all and he has told them that i will add alot of value and i am by far the best he has ever employed( he said that in front of them all and guess they didnt like it).

I come early morning to work and my line manager told me I should start with the front desk guy job just to have back ground how the dept functions. There is heavy politics at play and when I was there a week I decided to look work else where.......I found suitable job and better salary which is imp but believe it or not for the past two months my line manager kept me at the front desk( I kept asking him for my job description which he always says i will give u tomorrow..........this has dragged and they see me as threat because when the division head is not there the customers are treated poorly....politics is far more imp than doing the job well.....If i get late 5 minutes he marks with red pen but when others who does the bidding for him get late they never get red marks....He has three mobile phones in front of his desk all personal that he keeps chatting.........so yesterday he called me to the office of the division head who is on annual leave( he told me katie u r the best and i think u r doing well at the desk so I have prepared job description for u which is sitting and handling that desk and I will give your post to michael(the desk guy).......I asked him how does that work when I signed a contract as assistant manager? he said yeah no problem katie your salary and grade will be same but you will be at that desk.........I thanked him for his opening line and the praises and told him that i will not sign any job description and dont waste your time because that won't happen and I will speak to the hr now regarding this but also I want to know how you can tell me to do secretarial work and who are you to change my contract? You didn't hire me and you have no authority over me to do anything so I will speak to hr.........he said omg katie i didnt expect that answer from u but here is the job description of assistant manager ..............So basically he prepared both job descriptions and wanted me to sign the job of the front desk so he sends to hr.....

The thing is I am resigning either way tomorrow but I want to inform senior mgmt how this dept is complete shambles and how this man turned the place into complete fiasco........How will u deal with this? help

Answer 1

I wouldn't worry at all about his or their fiasco. I would definitely write official email to this so called senior mgmt and cc to head of hr but I also know nothing much will happen because this fiasco and the culture has been created by the upper mgmt....good luck to u and ur child. You should be proud that he is threatened by you to the extent he is doing illegal stuff so just to mislead you and you dont take his chair........either way good luck with the divorce..........I feel sorry for you that you are faced with difficult situations from both home and work but always remember the tough get going when the going gets tough.

Answer 2

I would resign but would write all to the senior management that happened with me. Compulsion of doing job doesn't mean to tolerate everything. No matter if you are earning less but with respect will give you new ideas how to go ahead.



You have two options:

1. Resign by writing everything.2. Or simply resign without any hassle for own reason.



In my case I would simply resign by giving my reason without blaming anyone. Katie, have faith and trust yourself. You can do what you want. Just take the positive approach and keep aside the xifficulties of that comes. Katie, if you truly hard work and think positively without blaming anyone who even try to make you down its divine that would help you by any means.



My faith in divine so much that I can't express. Like I talk to a person I talk to my self my god.

Its very good approach of your life to raise your kid.

Learn to be flexible. Be innocent but wise like serpent. It is needed in private industry. :-)



God bless you!

Answer 3

Yeah firstly have a word with the HR. See how it goes. And either ways this man will create many problems for you whichevr position you are at. Stick to this job for now and in the meanwhile full fledged search for a new one. Since you have a child under your wing, you need a steady flow of income, so bear this job (at any position you hold) and keep looking for better opportunities and the day you get one immediately quit this one. Best luck

Answer 4

you're telling us that you've a Masters in employer administration, have previous administration journey (thanks to bypass, btw), and do not understand the thanks to inform mgmt that you've been set at a receptionists table for thus long after being employed that you've moved on? in case you stay interior the united states, i'd attempt English.
