Hate My Job..Advise

Pecker31

Hi all, so I currently left a job which I hated, best move I ever made. My friend heard of the job I am currently in and she recommended it to me, her aunt run's it, it was perfect for me, Monday to Friday 9 ~ 5 ( I spend 11 years a nurse doing shift work)

It turns out not everything is a rosy, I am here a little over six months and can't believe the place, I am getting near €24K before tax a year and I am expected to do EVERYTHING. It's an admin job and my boss piles on the work daily, she now wants me to do management accounts, VAT returns, end of month reconciliation etc I have no idea how to do any of this and from day one there was no training as she has five kids and never here.

I am completely up the swanny and whenever I say anything I am looked at like I am useless, her boyfriend (who is a partner in the company) rings me five times a day looking for a report and when I do it he says its wrong and to change the color of it, change the font, the layout, basically making me a busy fool. He ofter would say "no you don't f***king understand" I feel like saying no i don't actually!

when the subject of holidays came up I said when suits for me to take them, I wanted to work around her and the kids, she said I will give you a couple of days here and there, basically telling me I can't take a week in full.

I am desperately seeking a new job but it will be my third move in 8 months.

Any advise. I am defo not paid enough for this crap and no one should be cursed at.

keep looking for a new position. in the meantime, you could tell them exactly what is happening. they surely want the business to be successful and to achieve that they'll have to take their heads out of the sand, treat their employee with respect and basically, cop on.

you have been more than fair imo, now they have to realise that slavery was abolished for a reason.
good luck

I don't think there's much you can do really apart from keep searching for something new.

Obviously the people running the company you are currently working for are unprofessional and you're better off out of there.

Good luck.

Thanks all, I will just feel bad leaving as its all a bit close to home, her niece is my best friend etc and I know I will be leaving her up the swanny but she is leaving me up it here!

Its all coming from her partner, who in my opinion, is the biggest bully I have ever met.

She is snowed under with the kids with no help from him, but that's not my fault. I had asked for today off for example and she agreed only to tell me Friday I can't as one of the kids had an app.

It's just really annoying

I wouldn't feel bad at all - she didn't feel bad about cancelling your day off did she!
Which by the way, you should have still taken. I would have told her - well I've booked something now and paid for it in advance so I won't be in on Monday, as agreed.

You need to think about yourself a bit more and stop thinking of how she will be 'up the swanny' without you. She won't. Her business won't fall apart, no one will die...she will make do, as she did before you came along.

Time to move on and make your own life happier.

You are getting the run around and that wont change - even if you do highlight whats going on. Its unfortunate that its "close to home" but that's their problem if you leave, not yours - regardless of her niece. They are not treating you right and I have no doubt the same will happen with the next person.

Thank you, when I joining actually there was another girl here who I found out that my boss was trying to push out the door, she does nothing but bitch about her now, saying how useless she was, before the other girl left she said "they will promise you the sun moon and stars and will never deliver" she actually brought a formal complaint against them

This is not a dig at you - but I get the feeling the same things will be said about you when you leave.
It seems to be a dysfunctional company run by 2 people who just want somebody there who they can blame on stuff going wrong.
