Im 4 days into my new job, and the boss is really cool with me, a really nice guy! The thing is he's engaged with the assistant I work with! (which I dont think is very professional!) And she is only an assistant and acting like she owns the place- she bosses me about and makes stupid lil remarks as if shes better than me- which I think if she acts like that im well above her!
Im new to the job and have kept quite, not let her get to me and gritted my teeth- Is there anything I can say to her that'll make her back off with out getting fired because shes so close to the boss???
I like the job its just her stressing me out- im a very open minded person and will tell it how it is--- I just feel with it being a job I have to be on best behavour!!
HeLp...
a serious business owner can keep business seperate from pleasure. obviously his assistant is his pleasure and he's not keeping them seperate...
only bad things can happen to his business if he keeps it up.
if you want your job, and you think your boss is a serious business man then have a 1 on 1 with him. ask him for a list of your duties and responsibilities and point blank ask if his assistant is your boss as well and she has the right to assign tasks and duties that may conflict with tasks you are already suppose to be doing assigned by him or your job description.
you'll get your answer. if she's your boss, then suck it up or get out.
if not. then ask him to please inform her of such, and politely deny her attempts to hand off assignments unless they are "approved" by him.
the3assistant is doiing thse things things to you because she thinks that being with the boss puts her in a higher power above you and her other workmates...she thinks shes better than you all and therefore she can do what she wants without getting in trouble...in other words...shes a complete idiot...defnatly speak up...its not worth being in a working enviroiment thati making you feel like your not being treated right...talk to her about it...tell her it dosnt make her better than everyone else and stuff...if she dosnt stop and continues to be a b.itch, then talk to your boss
Ok, just for the sake of your job, just ignore her, like seriously, I would not put my job in jeoperdy, if not that, then inform your boss about the way she is treating you, there is not much you can say that wont get you in trouble, or if you really want, then go ahead and confront her but anyhow.. good luck. :]
Thanx, but dont you think if I speak out to her she going get her fiance 'the boss' to fire me... because you can tell who wears the trousers in that relationship lol
That's a bad situation that's probably only going to get worse. Look for another job.
