My team consists of my manager and another colleague. I'm not sure what my manager does exactly but between me and my colleague we get our work done and we pretty much share the workload and pretty much do all tasks together as a team.
My manager has recently gone part time and her role has changed slightly to accommodate her hours and therefore we were told that she would be giving some of these tasks to us to take on.
She had drawn up a list of things we would need to be trained on and I was pleased to learn new skills and take on more responsibility and varied tasks.
My colleague and I were trained on a few things to begin with and then my managers daughter was brought in under the premise of helping us out whilst we got trained. Fair enough, made sense. She was looking for a job anyway so it worked out.
Over the course of a few weeks, she was trained up on our tasks. Fast forward a few months and she has now taken sole responsibility on the more important and interesting tasks and we are left with the crappy bits and boring bits of the job. Things we would give to a college work experience kid.
It's got to bad that we literally don't have much to do and I have managed to help another team with some.of their tasks to the annoyance of my manager to fill up some time.
To make things worse, the training has completely stopped and my manager has trained her daughter up on the tasks we were supposed to have done ourselves including parts of her own job.
We have raised it several times with my manager and she shrugs it off as you guys can do the training or it can wait or some other excuse.
It's made me feel a bit crap about work really. I'm left doing boring tasks, I feel like the fun and interesting parts of the job have been taken away.
My manager is thinking of retiring in the next couple of years and my colleague suspects that she is priming her daughter for the job.
Aibu to think that my managers behaviour is not on?
