I work for a law enforcement agency in Australia in the role of an assistant and had been there for less than 6 months when I was asked to work on a team dealing with some pretty horrific crimes. This team consisted of just 3 people, my boss, an “agent” and me.

The reason I was placed on this team was to organize meetings with victims of crime and allow our agency to talk to them about the progress of the investigation. Basically all I had to do was book a venue, make sure there was tea; coffee etc and make sure invites were sent out on time. I’ve done similar things in the past and this all went without a hitch,dispite my boss spending more time giving me stupid tasks like making sure her dry cleaning was done and getting her lunch everyday! (When I was hired I was told that things like this were NOT in my job description, and not to do them no matter who told me to- but I did anyway)

OK, to start with let me say that this was my first job out of uni, so I was quite naive about what to expect from a boss. There is no way I would tolerate this sort of behaviour now!

As mentioned above, I got my first real job working for a company that organised international Science conferences. My role was to help organise the conferences, sort out exhibitors, help monitor budgets, advertising, marketing, membership etc. In fact, pretty much everything.

I work in a regional chain grocery store in the deli-bakery department for the past 17 years.

My new boss woman came from another store.She is lazy-has others to do her work and nasty-will not throw out out-of-date- food,tries to “convert it”by selling it on the hot line.

Any time you suggest anything to improve sales,etc. she gets whiney and starts yakking” that she knows what she’s doing,been doing her job for 22 years,etc.etc”.So it’s pointless

The only reason why my store manager keeps her, is that no-one wants the job.However, the department sales are $30,000 less than last years’ sales.

I work for a state government as a clerk in a records department. My responsibilities involve copying requested records, filing incoming records, stuff like that. I have a great supervisor snf the work is interesting. Unfortunately since we are going paperless my job is being phased out and so I am going elsewhere.
