I got halfway thro' all these postings and just want to say:
I was made redundant three times since 1999. I have had loads of terrible jobs and others good. I have met some fantastic people including temps who I still keep in touch with. The point is, there is always some good that comes out of all the bad. I left a v boring perm job last month and altho my current job is contract for 6 mths, I have been made to feel more welcome than I have in lots of perm jobs.
I am having an induction day next week and a night out in November.
Now while all this sounds wonderful, I too have had to put up with crap. Driving endless miles each day, dressed up for a busy day, only to find your boss is not coming in until 3pm. You ask yourself, why am I here? The answer is simple, you are a qualfied PA who was hired for your skills to do the job. We all make mistakes, not all jobs are for us. However, you must learn to deal with it and move on - stop complaining, take control and get yourself something better.
Most managers are not cut out for their job and others treat PAs and admin staff like their kids. But do remember, you are a person with feelings and a life so be assertive and show you can either a) do the job or b) move on.
Good luck!
