Managing Without The Training, Pay And Authority

Posted on January 9, 2009

i knew once they started bothering me about my attendance and instituted their “tracking” system it wouldnt be long. i did a job, a job none of the other retouchers wanted to do. i got hired on to do retouch work and ended up managing the entire job from start to finish. i was the reason why we made our deadlines and the customer never really complained. i was in and out of my seat being a detective, doing the dirty work, tracking down and resolving problems before the customer even knew that they existed. because i volunteered to do a job that needed to be done and that no one else wanted to do because they were “real retouchers” , i wasnt in my seat for my entire 8 hour shift and couldnt be easily “tracked” on a spreadsheet. the sad thing is that if had bothered to look they would have found me within 100 feet of them, doing my freaking job. i was the reason everyone elses work ran smoothly and they were in their seats. today i found out that my tasks got assigned to an upper level manager. turns out that i was doing the job of a manager without the training, pay or authority to make real decisions. its making me mad just typing this.
