Sometimes it's okay, other times it's when I'm really busy and should be concentrating on my actual duties. </p> Mrs. Pickle on "Does your boss give you work unrelated to your job description?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-boss-give-you-work-unrelated-to-your-job-description#post-756981 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:42:05 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 756981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sometimes help my boss with personal tasks. I helped her decorate for her son's rehearsal dinner. I wrote out name tags for everyone attending too because she likes my handwriting. </p> Mrs. Lemon-Lime on "Does your boss give you work unrelated to your job description?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-boss-give-you-work-unrelated-to-your-job-description#post-756874 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:24:26 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 756874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a manager who created busy work. The tasks were related to the job, but definitely out of the scope of what we were supposed to do. </p> Modern Daisy on "Does your boss give you work unrelated to your job description?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-boss-give-you-work-unrelated-to-your-job-description#post-756846 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:18:37 +0000 Modern Daisy 756846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, but I wish she would! I volunteer for things sometimes, but we're understaffed so I think the managers make a conscious effort not to overload us with 'extra' tasks. </p> MaisyMay on "Does your boss give you work unrelated to your job description?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-boss-give-you-work-unrelated-to-your-job-description#post-753845 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:15:00 +0000 MaisyMay 753845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Technically my title is Retail Business Development Manager, but I do all sorts of projects for my boss. I get things like "My GPS stopped working. Can you fix it?" and "We need a flyer telling people that we're hiring. Will you make one?" I enjoy my job and very much like not doing the same thing every day.</p> <p>Does your boss ask you to do work unrelated to your job description? </p>
