Today, I was thrust into an office mgr position when the other 2 girls quit (nothing to do with me). There has been no talk of hiring, there's been no talk of offering me more money to do all the office work now. What do I do? I don't want to leave the poor owner with no admin staff, but I can't take on three more responsibilities right now. Can anyone offer suggestions?

You should definitely stand up for yourself and make sure you inform the owner that you’ll be over capacity. Having more money or an increase in salary is not going to decrease your likely hood of burning out fast. So stand firm and say exactly what you need.

You will do this work for a short period of time but you need 2 other people, and if you do not get it in a month, you need a raise and one other person

Then it’s time for you to look for work else where. You should start exploring your options now. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

The poor owner did not think of you and is absolutely taking advantage of you

If it has been less than 24-48 hours from the staffing change. The owner is probably spinning just as much as you are.

Have a crucial conversation with the manager to determine what has to be handled and what can be done later when the owner onboards another staff member. If all the balls in the air has to keep juggling, find out which ones are glass and which ones are rubber.

Prior to the conversation, work through your original workload for things like this. If you are familiar enough with what the other two were doing, then try to do some pre-emptive suggestions as well.

There are lots of great office folks out there. The owner could find from a temp agency real quick.

Definitely don’t feel bad for someone who’s taking advantage of you in this situation…

If your doing multiple peoples jobs theres room for a raise. Your company is saving on not
Paying those other girls. Be confident your worth it they need you now !

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation
