And, having spoken to many more officemanagers now than ever before, it is a common scenario we find ourselves in. Firstly, I should explain that in my experience and on looking at stats on LinkedIn, around 70% of officemanagers are female professionals with the remaining 30% being male.
This category is the most commonly misclassified because of the stigma that often comes with being non-exempt in an office setting. An officemanager title does not necessarily mean an employee has authority over processes or people. Some questions you should consider during review. If yes, they may be non-exempt.
And then their sales rep Jane emailed me. Then their sales rep John emailed me. And Jane found our phone number and called the officemanager asking for me. And found the name of one of the other project managers and called asking for him. Do I owe OfficeManager and Project Manager an apology?
He asked the current officemanager how to get access to his account, and she said she had no idea what happened to the information (she was not the person who set this up back in the day) for everyone’s logins and couldn’t help him. Sales jobs when you have a bad product. Look for a job selling a different product.
Setting: 1980, legal deposition. My mom left the deposition and went straight to her officemanager/head secretary since she knew her firm (big one) was understaffed. Then my mom called Jane, complimented her work and handed over the phone to the officemanager. ” The problem stopped. The poached assistant.
Yet others like the officemanager have an office. If I’m offered a job, I’d like to request that if at all possible an arrangement be made for an office for the HR manager. Besides field technicians and sales reps, we have, including five people in office at all times, including me.
My employer is requiring the officemanager and me (creative director/product development/sales) to attend an industry show in Atlanta. Both the officemanager and I are on tight budgets, so it is going to take the money we need to pay bills with in order to pay our expenses during the show.
Finally, the officemanager started hinting that if I wasn’t actually working, I didn’t need to be at work. The ED asked me to handle all the legal paperwork for transferring the deeds and titles and whatnot. I am dying thinking about it now. One of our donors gave us a bunch of time shares for the auction.
I worked as a special education teacher, so I am very used to preparing extensive, legally binding paperwork, supporting my team and supervisors, meeting multiple deadlines with few resources, and in general being detail-oriented and highly organizational. A few years ago I was on Sales Team A, and Sales Team B was under-performing.
When you resign from the company I work for, you get 20-25% of your commissions backlog (outstanding commissions from on-site sales). Drug and credit tests – unusual and only if specifically required by your job for safety/legal reasons — i.e., pilots, financial advisors. It just seems massive overkill for an office job.
I just…don’t understand why I’m required to attend a sales meeting, especially if I have zero interest. It’s not discriminatory in the legal sense, no. What your company is doing is perfectly legal. It’s a small office and my fellow admins will notice if I don’t put something in the envelope.
