Didn't want to start a thread, so putting this here:

Meeting with the consultant today, the one for assessing office culture and environment (later we will have those looking at our actual processes.)

I have good ideas, and I'm prepared, but I'm nervous. Also, I've got work up to my eyeballs...there just isn't enough time.

So my presentation, if you will, will involve outlining where I think MY job should be...what I was expecting when I was hired (I was grossly misled) and a suggestion of removing the position from this office to the accounting sector.

You can't tell a person to lay off on the customer service and teamwork so as to better focus on your primary responsibility, yet keep putting that person in the direct line of customer service and teamwork. I'm very good at it, but it isn't why I took this job. I wanted to do the the numbers side, like I'm supposed to. Instead, every deadline comes and I'm struggling and accounting thinks I'm incompetent (because yeah, the leaders are going to say: she's behind because we make her do a thousand other things.)

I'm going to post this as anon though I know most of you know who this is (I've done that previously, not trying to hide from those who know me here but protecting myself from those who don't and those who might google.)

So, thanks for the practice. Back to the trenches for now.
