OK, I have been with the company I work for for 10 years. I am in charge of sourcing, quoting, and purchasing for our largest customer ( almost 50 million $ a year) I have received numorous awards and accolades from everyone up the ladder from me of a job well done ETC. I am very good at my job. Late last year we were informed there would be no pay raises this year. Now understanding the economy I uderstood and didnt complain. Late last month We were informed thet due to slacking sales within all of our divisions, all salried employees we to take a 3% pay cut. A week later we were told that all employees were to take a weeks un paid furlough ( 5 days in a row) in each of the remaining quarters of this year. Now OK, This si going to be tough on all of us, and we dont have a choice or a say. But I will survive.
Now last week My boss came to me and told me we were loosing an employee due to health reasons and he was not going to be replaced untill next year. Ok I am already bustin my butt as well as all the people underneath me, but we can handle it.
This Morning my boss comes to me with a list of things he would now like me to take charge of. Things that actually fall outside of my department, but i could easily do. This just totally pissed me off.We have 50 people in this office. I told him that this did not fall withing the guidelines of the job I was hired to do and if he would like to create a new position and promote me into that, with an increase in pay to match the responsabilities I would gladly consider it. I them took it upon myself to tell him that in fact I was looking to cut some of the BS work ( reports, newsletters, cust9mer good will calls) I do of my current work load to make up my lack of pay. ( I am a bit hung over and not thinking clearly) He freaked out telling me I was not a team player, and everyone was making sacrafices for the good of the company. I told him no one asked me to take the substantial cut in pay or was concerned with my suffering in an attempt to pay my bills. I have always been the best team player. I always get the job done, I am here for whatver reasons, and everyone who has relied on my was never dissapointed. he walked off in a huff.
Well I do feel that way, and although I will do my job to the best of my abilities, and cant really cut out anything, but I do feel strongly about not taking on responsabilities not in my job description that I am not getting paid for. Should I apologize?, hold my ground, or get my resume in order?
he is a dick, and I have pushed his buttons before. It is however only a matter of time untill somone comes along who can do my job as well as I do, but untill then how much of my crap do you think I can make them take?
