come on take them off

So somehow I've ended up as the trainer for my team.

The arrangement was that once our previous trainer moved on (which she now has), we'd appoint whoever was least busy at the time to look after any new people. This hasn't happened. What has happened is that without any help, guidance or coaching I am in charge of meeting, greeting, organising and training three new people, at the same time.

I definitely did not agree to this because a) I wouldn't have agreed to it and b) I would have asked for more money! I'm not stupid and I don't mind helping but I resent the way my boss sneaks extra workload onto you by stealth, by implying something is only temporary when in fact she's never going to move it on to someone else.

So I've got my rebuild, Alice's rebuild, Jen's rebuild, Alice and Jen and Amber's training and schedules, two large projects around dispensing and the closure of 17 warehouses, my regular work, hundreds of bitty things daily for the team as a whole, and any questions the new kids choose to ask, which is always at exactly the wrong time and about something I've already been over twice.

I hate being asked for help. I never ask, so why should anyone else need to?!

Also, when I tell someone that something needs doing urgently on a Friday, I expect them to respect the fact that I know what I'm doing and that it is actually urgent and to just fucking do it. I don't expect them to come shuffling over on Wednesday morning asking if they can put some time in with me later that day to baby them through writing the email. If they do do this then they shouldn't look shocked when the response is a furious scowl and a 'why isn't this already done' tirade.

But it's ok because today is Job Day in the local paper and I've got my red circlin' pen at the ready!
