Is anyone else feeling underpaid? I am working non-stop and my team is constantly asking for more of my time. If I complain to management, the response is needing to improve on time management. How does one improve on time management when there just isn’t enough time in a day!

100% accurate. I understand the need to hire less and add more to current employees plates. However, those employees should be compensated.

I think that's just part of modern life. We have all these devices to help us save time, but it doesn't matter, every minute is just jam packed with things to do. Time management isn't really the answer if the tasks just fill all the time in the day.

I've been with my current company for over three years.

Before I had joined the company, my understanding is that they were looking for a second admin to help my predecessor (who retired) with the volume of work; they had a couple of different people fill the role, but they never worked out.

Three years later, we are so much busier. In March, we hired a second admin to help me. She left in November (we were working toward letting her go); she was repeatedly making the same mistakes, missing detail, ignoring policies and struggling with straightforward concepts.

During those eight months, I was the person tasked with training her and the other new hire. I was already swamped and behind on work and the interim help we were promised to help keep up with the day-to-day never materialized. Big surprise. So I just kept getting more behind.

So, already struggling, behind on work and now trying to keep up while also training AND doublechecking all of their work etc.

I've worked countless hours of unpaid overtime just to try to get a little bit ahead.

Among other things, last week I got called into a meeting with HR to review the PiP they want to put me on. Yup. Because I'm behind on my work. They have exactly zero understanding of exactly what I do, the volume, the detail that is involved etc.

The PiP reads as though it was written by a 12 year old; it doesn't contain any of the details that it requires. I refused to sign it.

It is all far from over.

The frustration is real.

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first. She was fake friendly, but she was discrete too. Some of the executives thought she was amazing, but I had to clean up her work all the time. She wasn’t above me either on the chain of command. Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior.
