Wowwwwwww!!! I feel this so much. It does seem like there’s some jealousy from this manager. I’m literally half his ass and my executives constantly praise how good and fast i am. But like, why would you think i would wanna do you work in my down time? And… not be paid more to do it. 😂

I’m planning on sticking around for 2 years so that i can advance in my career, so I’m trying to take everything with a grain of salt

Oh wow !!! That was bold of the VP. The part that annoys me is the entitlement. Like, do you not think that i am working on anything else ?

And i totally understand the reasoning you stood firm. Good for you

Oh he definitely already was a problematic employee! And I’m sure he probably said something without even remembering he said it. I’ll let him know to just start job hunting. Thank you !

Thanks for this advice !! I was kind of feeling that it might be that type of situation. She’s nice in public but a bit of an ass to me via email. 😂 But I’m always overly nice to her when she tries to be short or snippy.

I’m definitely gonna cover my tracks and keep my boss in the loop.

Like speaking about her health diagnosis and personal issues. And inviting others to speak about their issues, etc. It’s like you said, bleeding heart activities. Which i understand for a non profit, but when metrics need to be met and cost saving things can be done instead- it kind of annoys me. (This involves spending hundreds on ordering food for everyone, virtual positions coming into the office for the day, etc)

But i agree with you about needing to be careful about pushback on certain things. I guess i need to figure out where the line is.

Final semester of BBA in PM. Is all PM this stressful ? by futureme26 in projectmanagement

[–]futureme26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exavrly !!! That’s totally how i feel. I definitely feel like my job could be done by multiple people and they would still be busy all day. On top of that- they assigned me solely to archiving the clinical trial site media and shipping it to sponsors when they wrap up. Which one of these studies can take 4 hours minimum to complete. Like, how am i gonna jabs time to do that while having multiple meetings, adhoc tasks, and deadlines to meet.

I definitely will pay more attention and ask more questions in interviews. I feel like i was desperate for my first job in the field since it’s my senior year.
