Are You Stuck Doing Your Boss's Work? Let's Talk About Handling Unfair Workloads

Hi,

I'm an HR & Admin officer. I want to share with you all, are you doing your job like a peon? This refers to the situation where a new joiner in the organization or a boss who doesn't want to work, hands over their work to their juniors.

So, wake up juniors, be smart about it, and carry out your work professionally. I have experienced this situation, which is why I am sharing this with all my colleagues. Can you give me suggestions for handling this situation?

Hi,

Hey, it is one of the responsibilities of HR to know who the new joiners are in the organization. If it is your task, then do not assign it to others. I am still confused about what exactly your issue is. If you explain clearly, we can offer you suggestions.

Thanks

Hi,

Actually, my work is recruitment. But I have one problem that I have seen at other organizations. A boss who doesn't want to work properly hands over his work to their colleague (junior). My problem is, why is the boss exhibiting bossy behavior? I feel like I am being treated like a peon, which is why I am sharing this with you all. I am seeking suggestions on whether I should leave this job or continue.

First, see for yourself how well qualified or experienced you are compared to others in your position. One should know oneself well and understand their capabilities. Once you know the reality, then plan something!

Everyone has to start from the bottom; there is no way to reach the top floor directly. Otherwise, lifts and staircases would not have existed.

I hope you understand, my friend. Make your worth known to your senior so they recognize that you can handle more serious responsibilities. Then, whoever is your superior, make them acknowledge your good work so they can't ignore it and appreciate it by entrusting you with higher responsibilities.

Stop complaining; otherwise, you will find yourself hopping from one job to another, thereby jeopardizing your career.

Dear Rishee,
Your thoughts are a bit confusing. But with experience I can tell you that even by doing your boss's “Peon” work there is so much you can learn only if you have the right attitude and are willing to think out of the box!
There are so many famous figures in the world who got to their place from a very small place; they're the stepping stones of success.
But however, addressing your point, these days in most companies, you can't find such boss's if the company is a very successful and prominent one. The reason being that today's boss's are well educated and are continuously encouraging their subordinates. The kind of scenario that you highlight mostly exists on the government sector.
So, I hope that you'll be able to work on your problem with the right attitude and mind set. Good Luck!!
Cheers,
Ashra
