This has got beyond a joke! I've just read another interview with a secretary who boasts that she could do her boss's job! I'm so tired of this!
Very few support staff could do their manager's job, day in, day out. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever met one! We don't have the qualifications, the experience or the commitment!
Why does this patronising view still exist, that the boss is a bit of an idiot, really, and if it weren't for us the whole department would collapse? Why do we call him or her “Bossie†and roll our eyes heavenward when they can’t use the photocopier, or forget whether we have sugar in coffee?
Why does being able to run administrative tasks supposedly make us some kind of office super-hero – and one who smugly NEVER puts a foot wrong?
My boss is a fully trained engineer with 16 years' experience. I could not do his job!
I do my job really well, and I support him so that he can do his job. But my job is to enable him to do his job, not to do it myself! If he walked out one day and left me to it, I would be totally sunk.
Please tell me you don’t think you can do your manager’s job!
