Boundaries

Admin Gal is nothing if not patient and forgiving. She tends to be generous as well. After all, a workplace should be a nice place to work. But lately, her boundaries have been breached. Maybe this is because she has become indispensable. Seen as one of the Executive Team.

The sad reality is she is not. In the world of her company, Admin Gal is non-exempt. Yes, that’s right. Non-Exempt. Admin Gal is not subject to the large salaries of her executive teammates, she is not paid enough to live and breath her job 24/7.

She is not deemed important enough to be given a company cell phone. Yet, the personal cell phone that was given in trust to her boss has been abused greatly lately.

How you ask?

During her lunch hour, numerous calls placed to her cell phone regarding things that could wait until Admin Gal was back on company time. On her day off, her phone rings for information that is readily available if one does a simple search of the company intranet.  The phone number was to be used in case of emergencies.  Meetings, information, and convenience does NOT an emergency MAKE!

Admin Gal is NOT Amused with the current circumstances and may have to take drastic actions.  She may have to change her phone number.  Wouldn’t that confound the buggers?

While she ponders her options, Admin Gal will continue to do her job leaving her victims blissfully unaware of their impending doom.
