Can't get ahead Posted by: Chuck on July 06, 1998 at 19:31:03: I work in a non-profit development office. I have a teaching background and strong writing skills. I began working there 2 1/2 years ago as an support person. Since then, I have worn many hats there including working in fundraising and planning special events. When openings have come up in these areas I have been discouraged by my boss and was told that in order to be considered I must first resign from my current position, her "Executive Assistant" (read doormat or lackey). In addition, my meager raise was based on the same Administrative Assistant wage I began with when I was hired. I cannot afford to quit until I find something else. In the meantime, life is hell--including no air conditioning in the summer and deplorable conditions. Anyone out there with similar gripes? Any coping strategies? I don't know how much longer I can hang on, HELP!!! Follow Ups
