Admin Gal has a co-worker who recently was assaulted with responsibilities not assigned by her manager.
Assigned by whom you ask?
Assigned and announced to the company by another admin who, frankly, couldn't be bothered to go through the proper channels to discuss additional job responsibilities.
You see, these responsibilities being added to her plate surmounted to the work of an additional employee. Let me repeat. An Additional Employee.
Her managers had not been apprised of these changes. An assumption had been made that she would be 'happy' to take on these additional responsibilities.
The admin with the added responsibilities was savvy. She made the issue be known to her manager. Who, in turn, ran it up the channels to the unfortunate admin's boss who started the mess.
A review is currently underway of policy and procedure. The admin who started making assignments is backpedaling. Trying to create documentation for her faux pas - too little too late.
Her boss has egg on his face.
The morale of this story? Always know your responsibilities, and always make sure your supervisor is aware of changes not approved by him or her.
