Ok, there are 5 people in my department...4 accountants and the controller who is our boss. In January, one of our accountants went on maternity leave and another was fired.
At that time, I was given half of the work load for the girl who went on maternity leave in addition to my regular responsibilites with the promise that once she was back, they would be hiring someone to do my job and transitioning me to a senior position.
Well, that still hasn't happened, and I have been working 50-60 hours a week for the last 9 months. That is so not what I signed up for, and I was even contemplating looking for another job.
Yesterday, my boss sent me an e-mail saying that the president of our company FINALLY approved our request to hire someone....and in less than 3 months, my life is going to go back to normal 8-5! I am so excited!!
Re: AW at Work!
You have no idea, girlie! That news made my day yesterday. I've felt so taken advantage of, so this makes me feel so much better.
Congrats!
