Not if it is a proper office. The manager acts as the interface between his/her subordinates and upper management. He/she insures that upper management's agenda is met. He/she is responsible for seeing that the required work is accomplished, that employee problems are dealt with properly, and when necessary has the sometimes onerous duty of terminating an employee. Along with this authority comes the responsibility for the actions of the employees under him/her. When they screw up, the manager takes the heat. More than just a secretary.

i think they started calling it an office manager because usually a secretary handles much more than just typing and answering the phone.

I volunteer at my mom's job, and the office manager there deals with a lot of finances, and billing. The office manager also goes to big city meetings, but I'm not sure what that person's role is there.

Secretary juggles paper & follows instructions.
Office managers supervise people and give instructions.
Unless it is a 1 person office, then they have their choice of titles.

Office manager falls under the software created by microsoft.
Secretary on the other hand is made for porn industry.

initially, your business has the flexibility to bypass decrease back on your computer heritage and word what you're doing too. So why do not they verify it out for themselves. second, don't be afraid to bypass to the community secret agent keep and get audio and/or video kit to exhibit evidence of her habit.

In my opinion it's pretty much the same thing. We had a "office manager" where I work and it totally went to her head she thought she was gods gift to everything and everyone. Her "attitude" got her fired! Thanks goodness too.

from experience, i can say yes- it is. they think if you put a fancy name on it, they'll actually act more professional. doesn't always work.
