I work in a male-dominated environment. In fact I am the only female - there is a management team of 4 (including me and the Big Boss), a small sales division of 3 and a workshop/site team of 10. It's a pretty easy-going environment to be fair, the boss is very flexible.
We have just gone past the company year-end, and as part of my function is financial and I am officially part-time (although I work flexi-hours and generally save overtime to take extra days off) I am pretty busy at the moment. The sales team too are busy lining up new work for next year. The workshop/sites however are winding down ready for the break (we close for 10 days) and as the other 2 managers are more involved in that side of things they too are pissing off to the pub for hours winding down.
Which brings me to today. I arrive at work at 11, everyone else has been in since 8.30. There is a christmas tree in a box in reception which has obviously been brought in from the depths of the workshop and is covered in about an inch of dust. Big Boss asks me to assemble and decorate it. WTF I say, can't X or Y do it? I need to do this, this and this job today. No he says, it needs your touch.
Muttering to myself I shake and wipe all the various bits (getting filthy in the process) and put the tree together, it takes a while. BUT I deliberately did a really shit job of it. So now we have a totally wonky and crap tree in reception, for all to see. I was kind of hoping they would all go "ooh Yam that's awful, you should have done it like THIS" and re-done it.
So AIBU to think he only asked me to do it cos I am female, and AIB even more U to be naffed off that nobody else seems to have noticed (or care) how awful it looks?
