Just curious...?

Question

Ok so...im trying to figure out proper ways to act in the working enviroment. Let me just tell the story real quick...I work in a small office.it is a law office.I am also a college student. I pretty much just do the reception work and then I leave a little early to go to school. I pretty much work here bc my step dad is one of the lawyers,the office I wrk at is a small office with just me..the attorney and 2 paralegals. We are pretty close bc we are small and are around eachother all day..our attorney is young and hes fun. we can all joke around...not what you would expect but whatever. I really hate it when people tell me what to do..I mean I really hate it. Always have..I understand it part of my job but a little while ago he was closer to the fax machine than I was and asked if I could fax something for him...he had it in his hand and instead of walking 4 feet he asked me to do it..so I got up and did it..it made me mad. Why couldnt he just do it..I just get so mad

For some reason I just get mad when they think...oh she will do it...do I say something? or do I just deal with it for now...anyone else the same way?

Answer 1

It would get on my nerves too, and I have had bosses like that, but its your job to do what the man says. It sucks, but thats the way it is.

Answer 2

Ok, so... until you get yourself a law degree and membership to the local bar association, you will fax, type, copy, answer phones, etc. because you are an employee, not this lawyer's friend or even a colleague.

Unless you work there for free, you'd better get in line.

Answer 3
