Ok I have a supervisor that is supposed to be in charge but,I find myself having to get my own answers and make discisons that it is up to her to make. I think that this will get me in trouble in the long run. Plus I always end up stepping up to the bat for our team. How can I stop this or general advice please. thanks

forgive me- I always handled my office politics passive aggressively with an appropriate Dilbert cartoon photographed and taped onto the bathroom doors or coke machines.

Do you consider this woman to be a friend? If so, have a quiet word with her and tell her what you feel. Do you want her job? If so, keep a note of what you are doing that you feel is her responsibility. Verify your feelings with a couple of colleagues, but do not b*tch about it. Approach another superior and level with them about what you are doing, your concerns that you may be over your head a bit but that you are confident you can handle it given the correct status. If you do not want her job, stop doing it and approach someone with your concerns. I would get someone else on board with you as well.

Why don't you put all the responsibilities you have taken on on your resume, and look for a job where you will be the supervisor and get paid for it?

dont do her work, go to the overlord about the problems, and she will either get fired or you will, such is life
