I'm pretty fed up with where I work because the people who own the company don't understand what I do or the importance of my work. So they don't support me. I get pulled into projects late. My requests to go to conferences are ignored. And I have to do all the work for what is a full department at similar companies.

Last year, at my review, I pushed really hard to get a promotion from specialist to manager and actually get someone working under me. That was denied. Well, in the past few months, people have started referring to me as the manager anyways. I don't mind when someone I only work with every so often makes this mistake- but my own director- the person who denied me the promotion- just introduced me as the manager to a client. This is the same woman who keeps lying to me that I'll get support without delivering it and keeps trying to convince me to keep doing PR even though I hate it. She sends me these snide little messages when ever i help out with a PR project like, "See, PR loves you!" It's infuriating.

Part of me really wants to call her out on her mistake.  The other part of me is just so fed up with everything that I know I shouldn't care. That I should just smile and nod until I can bounce. 

Just meh

Re: Work Titles

  • Oooo, that would be frustrating. My mom kept getting pulled in late and she just started pushing back. She told them it couldn't get done in time, which it couldn't without her working weekends (salary= no overtime pay). Eventually she got it through their thick skulls

  • Is HR any help? If you're being called a manager without the official title and salary to go with it, I'd be setting up an appointment.

    We don't have an HR person. We have 200 employees and no HR person. It's ridiculous. And the partners can't figure out why it takes so long to fill openings or why so many people are leaving. Uh, maybe because you don't even respect us enough to hire an HR person!
