I have a counterpart in my program. She has municipal experience so she is good with that. I am good at administrative/coordinating/customer service kind of stuff. She handles the building code which is way way way above my head.
In all the turmoil of our office I have always said, I don't care where my program goes as long as A goes with me.
She resigned today.
They aren't filling her position.

So I have to do my job and hers.

I'm asking for a raise.
Re: Job related craziness
Zomg! Ummm... definitely ask for a raise. That is crazy!
Holy ... O_O
Yes, you need a raise. A big one.
A raise and a pony.
And an assistant.

Ohh noo..I could handle billing.
Building code...as in the statewide building code...all 7 of them...
I agree with Molly-- you definitely need a pony and an assistant.
And also some serious training! They HAVE to give you some kind of training on the codes, right?!? Right?
DEFINITELY a raise, for sure, though! Holy moly cow!
geez...I would say an assistant is definitely in order...that would be more cost-effective than them having to replace someone at your level...even someone to just work part-time...
although, not to make this about me, but we just hired a part-time assistant to give me more "free time" and she is driving me insane...I have no patience and I would sort of rather just work alone at this point...
so, never mind...raise and pony
sorry, that was a reading fail on my part. I was thinking billing code, like medical billing code, but somehow for the state. But no, it clearly says building.
get memorizing girl!
I just went bug-eyed! They're not filling the position???? Is it ALL being added to your plate? I hope you have a major sit down and request a job description redo. They better pair that up with a nice raise.
I went from a supervisor of one company to a supervisor of three companies and never got a raise. It was assumed since I had been there for a decent amount of time I could handle the added responsibilities. Of course, I could, but I still wished they had compensated me for it. At least I still had a job - which I couldn't say for the other two sups that were laid off. :-(
holy moses! I agree with Jess, they'd better sit down with you to re-write your job description so that your expectations are in writing. And definitely a raise. And a personal masseuse.
