Ok, before I go into this, I want everyone to know that I really DO love my job.
But here's the thing. We have a [quote]service manager[unquote] that is paid bucoo bucks, and part of his job title is ordering and inventory. That's fine, right??
Not really. Funny thing is, inventory hasn't been done in quite a while (like two years) so our inventory in the computer totally doesn't match our shelves. A couple of weeks ago (in prep. for last year's taxes) my boss "suddenly" realizes that this is a problem. :rolleyes: And he gives ME the task of doing inventory and getting it done by January 31.
I have a full time job position, that does not allow me to take the time to go count every little peice of inventory we have in stock and count it. I am SWAMPED with my own responsibilities. We were talking about how we were going to get this done, and we figured the only way we could do it, was to go in on Saturday when the phone doesn't ring, and we aren't stopping all the time for customers.
But the "Service Manager" REFUSED to be any part of it saying he had a "FAMILY" that comes first. I understand that, truly I do. But does he think that just because I don't have children that I don't have a "Family"????? I'm not getting paid overtime to do this either (but I did inform my boss on the phone that I am taking a day off next week to make up for this).
So, my co-worker & I were getting into this inventory this morning, and it was SO frustrating. (FYI we sell & service copiers & fax machines, and most of inventory is parts for these machines). I do not know the machines inside out & backwards, and therefore do not know the parts. Take a roller for example: it can be a "regular roller", a "fuser roller", or a "cleaning roller". There are no part #'s on the boxes, and we have to figure out from different clues what the make/model is to match it up to the computer print out.
But here's the thing that really gets me. I am busting my butt to get this inventory done by January 31, and I am paid 1/3 of what the service manager does. And I go in on a Saturday while he is at home with his feet up on the couch, and I am doing his responsibility????
I'm so burned out, and have this deep seated anger in me that I can't let go of. :mad:
I need a vacation, I really really need a vacation.

**Takes a Deep Breath** Thanks for listening, really thanks for listening. Nobody else seems to understand.
