I find I’m being given more and more tasks in my job that aren’t usually part of my role, I’ve been saying yes as it feels difficult to push back - how would you deal with this?

Assess objectively if this is what you signed up for when you took the job

Not a bad way to think about it, thanks for the advice!

If not, feel free to push back

You could push back, or you could look at this as an opp to upskill. Rub elbows with ppl you might not have otherwise. A couple times here, being used for extra side jobs led to my escape from a bad manager.

That’s an interesting way to think about it! Thanks for the advice

Push back when you’re absolutely unable

I agree!

See if you’re able to go over your job description and then discuss the extra tasks and whether this can be changed or if they want you to keep doing them whether your role (and pay) can be adjusted

I’ve been leading a massive project by myself for the last year almost and my boss torpedoed my last round of meetings: “oh we don’t need to socialize this, I’ve been doing it, let’s just kick it off.” Okay. So turns out, no one fucking knew and now because we had one meeting instead of two, the people we met with aren’t even the ones doing the work, and they’re not telling the ones who are supposed to do the work about it. So I now need to go back and do more meetings.

Bought a house with 10% down for 380k. Appraisal came in a 400k but now I’m doing renovations. Completely redoing both bathrooms in the house. Removing popcorn ceilings, installed new AC with new ductwork and insulation, installed a new tankless gas water heater and building out laundry room in garage. Should I refinance after this to get rid of PMI? Current rate for 30 yr is 2.625%. Aka is it safe to assume my appraisal can come back above 435k to equate to 20% equity?
