Workplace advice columnist Alison Green responds to a reader who was hired to be a project manager only for their boss to treat them like an assistant.
I am on the receiving end of a bait and switch job offer. I was hired to be a project manager and am now effectively an administrative assistant.
Cut to four months into this job and I am now a full-blown admin with absolutely no project management work.. I’m invited to meetings just to take notes. If I attempt to participate in any way , I’m dismissed or cut down. Kevin messages me to do extremely trivial things that he is fully capable of doing himself. I set up meetings for him and then he promptly changes his mind. When I booked a conference room that didn’t have enough seats, he ordered me to go grab chairs for the others.
But that doesn’t sound like your situation. Based on the intel from your predecessor, your boss is deliberately hiding his actions from HR because hethey wouldn’t allow it. That’s good news for you .. Lay out what you were told about the job when you were hired, and what work Kevin has assigned to you since then.
