  As most of you know…my job is quite demanding and I’m in charge of a great deal (i.e. safety, training, osha, dot, and now personnel).  However, the Controller at my office yesterday decided that he wanted me to take on inputting all the new employees into the payroll software.  Umm…I’m not payroll…hello?

  
  

  So I told him that I was not going to be doing that.  He said, “yes, starting today you are”.  I then looked at him and said, “Umm…NO, I’m not.  I don’t work for you and you do not have the authority to add to my job…so no, I’m not going to be doing payroll’s duties”.  He didn’t listen, apparently, because he just kept going on and telling me what I was “now going to do”.  So, I finally said, “Look here little man…which part of I don’t work for YOU did you not comprehend? I’m not going to be doing setup for new employees…it’s too time consuming and I don’t have time…so go away and leave me alone.”

  
  

  Well, that at least got him out of my office.   I then called my boss and asked him if he knew anything about this.  He said that he didn’t…but then we talked about whether or not this is something that I could use as leverage to get more money.   We decided however, that I just did not have the time to do it…no matter how we tried to arrange it.  So, unless they want to train my assistant to do the data entry and have me oversee it…I will not be having any part of it.

  
  

  So there loser…I told you that I wouldn’t be doing it.

  
  

  Some people just don’t take no for answer.

  
  

  Anyway…after that conversation, my boss talked to the President of the company and explained what had been stated by the Controller and what had been discussed between he and I…well, needless to say, the Controller was then called into the President’s office and ripped a new one for opening his big mouth about things that aren’t under his jurisdiction.  See…loser.

  
  

  It just amazes me how some people just think that they can do anything that they want…to anyone that they choose…but not me…nope, I’m done being a doormat thank you.
