ok...my current job title - Process Engineer I
This job title DOES NOT include Young Engineers Society President, DOES NOT include recruiter, and DOES NOT include ADMIN ASSIST. ... some how i'm doing all of the above..
Our company has this young engineers society (YES). Its new..i was selected by the bosses as president back in July. Its supposed to be a volunteer position after me. As this president I'm doing TONS of BS work. I'm setting up technical meetings with presenters. This task means finding an available room for 20 engineers (impossible) , find presenters that won't be traveling at a minutes notice (impossible), ordering my own food, filling out my own expense reports, and notifying all the young engineers. My duties also include website development and maintenance. Also organizing young engineers to go to career fairs and usually attending a few myself. This all on top of being a full time engineers!!!...and this would be fine..but I get fucked over all time time!!!
I was planning on having a meeting on Feb 12th with my tech guys presenting...liek the only week i can guarantee they will not be traveling through china. I have a room booked for the past month...that's right...1.5 months before the meeting...also....20 engineers to scheduled to show
8am...this morning i get a call
admin: Good morning Katie, you have a room booked out that we need for Feb 13th. I have booked you for the room downstairs instead.
Me: I have 25 people, the room downstairs isn't big enough.
admin: well i have 20 people and we need the projector.
me: i have 25 need the project, and booked a month ago
admin: well...we are taking your room...
TRUMPED!!!... I resched my meeting the day before but i'm going to be out for a dr. appt. that i really can't bail on, so now i have to figure out who is going to order the food, start the meeting, prep the room...
oh did i mention...NO ONE EVER HELPS ME OUT...its a volunteer group but there is no incentive..no extra pay..no extra vacation...no negative repercussions..so why help out if it doesn't help or hurt you?!?!?
I'm sooo tired....of being yanked around...doing all the work...and BLAH....
ok..i'm done now...
