No Big Deal?

I am an office manager for a handful of of restaurants of a fast-food chain. It is my responsibility to not only make sure that the office runs smoothly but that the managers of said restaurants get everything they need. I work my ass off doing this. Most of the managers and assistant managers respect me to some small degree

I think she's a bitch. First off all, she's using company resources and company time (you) to do her personal business, which is fine as long as she doesn't bring other people into it, but you could have gotten in trouble for distributing "personal" stuff on company time.

Second, it's just unspeakably rude to turn other people into your personal delivery system.

Third, involving you in an event in which you aren't invited to partake, even if it's by omission is akin to handing out valentines to everyone in your elementary school class except one person, who you walk up to and explain why they are unworthy of receiving a valentine. It's not only rude, it's mean. And there's absolutely no excuse for it.

I wouldn't take any more of her work without explicitly asking what purpose it serves and make it clear you won't be delivering anything that's not explictly work related.

I don't think you're overreacting. If you're going to be playing super delivery girl, you should be getting paid for it. After all, you're saving her postage. And she can deliver her own damn mail. That's manners.

heh, I feel the same way. It's unfortunate that I'm sometimes too damn nice for my own good :P
