This is happening to me right now. We all have same amount of work, I'm getting on with it but 2 whingers in my team keep procrastinating then panic, do overtime then brag about doing overtimeThis week it’s been colleagues whinging about their workload (same as mine) when I’ve been doing double my usual work thanks to someone being off and I’ve just got on with it. That, and when people try to push their own tasks onto you then try to pretend it was a misunderstanding when management calls them out on it.
What is your role?I’m fairly new in post and am finding myself being referred to as ‘admin’, when that’s not my role title (and there is actually an admin assistant in the team…). It’s mainly one person (a women disappointingly) and I’ve just had sight of some comms with an external business where I’m referred to as ‘the admin person’.
This is bugging me, I feel like I’m being put in my place/not having my skills acknowledged IYSWIM. Not sure if I should pipe up and say something yet or see how it goes.
They are quite happy to pass work above admin assistant pay grade over to me though, which does amuse me.
Anyone else experienced something similar?
I would say - very sternly - actually, my title is X.I’m fairly new in post and am finding myself being referred to as ‘admin’, when that’s not my role title (and there is actually an admin assistant in the team…).

I am being nosy, but isn't the paper work complicated, when you change between paid employment and freelance work, I mean tax and NI wiseI would say - very sternly - actually, my title is X.
How rude and disrespectful of that woman. If you don't nip it in the bud now, she might see you as a target.

I chucked in my horrible new job last week (the one I posted about previously). I'd only been doing it for a few days but there is no way I could stay working with such mean-spirited people ... it sucked the life out of me and I was miserable. Things will never change, so I left. So ... it's back to an uncertain life of freelancing for me. At least it's a happier existence.
Not really. I'm in NZ so things might be a bit different? But no, it's fine ... I keep really thorough paper trails of everything for the accountant to work out at the end of each financial year.I am being nosy, but isn't the paper work complicated, when you change between paid employment and freelance work, I mean tax and NI wise
Next time he’s thanking them, have a little coughing fitI work for a tech start-up. I design things. A team of engineers build the things I design.
Who gets the ALL credit once the work is done? The team of 5 (yes, five) developers and engineers, or the ONE designer who is slowly losing her will to live? Honestly, I don't want a song and dance every time I do my job but I can feel the rage building inside me when my boss shows the work our 'team' has done but only credits the people who built it.
I'm not one to play the gender card either, but all the engineers are maleDoesn't paint a nice image for women working in tech, does it?
