AIBU about job?

[Dhapeer]

I started a new job 6 months ago. I was interviewed by the office manager, my manager and a director. It was casually alluded to that everyone pitches in with taking calls etc.
On my first day, it became apparent that while doing your job, they also have this 'virtual' reception which is where your phone rings every time a reception phone in any of the offices nationally rings. You are expected to take some of these calls.
I can not describe the stress of being in the middle of something and having to answer reception calls.
Ok, so I got used to that and accepted it.
Last week, we had an admin meeting and we were told that we now have to do the following as well:

1. Offer to do incoming/outcoming post when receptionist is on leave
2. Listen out for the doorbell ringing and answer the door if no-one is at the 4 desks behind reception. I sit about 30 seconds walk from the reception door.
3. Make teas and coffees for meetings in the absence of the receptionist.

I have 22 years administrative experience and am supposed to be a Team Administrator for a team of 5 building surveyors. I also have PA duties for my Director.

Would any of you do this? I have handed in my notice to my manager by text and have rang HR and am waiting to hear back.

FFS, they are paying me 28k to answer phones and make tea?

Am I the unreasonable one given that NONE of this was indicated in the interview and is not on my job description?

Good luck in your temping, and in finding a new job that's a better fit. 👍🏻

Few people disagreed the issue in your original post was the problem. I think we can all agree doing additional tasks as well as your own without prior agreement would be hard work.

What the majority of us had a problem with was your extremely poor attitude and unprofessionalism; hence the backlash on this thread.

Now if any of you works in a company who's recruiting for a PA with some HR experience, read the whole thread carefully. You've been warned.

Imagine him being shocked that admin staff get arsey about doing admin stuff.

I'm paid three times what you are, I still answer the damned phone and make the tea if our admin staff is unavailable.

If you can't multi task, maybe make your next job shelf stacking.

My daughter is home from uni and has got a holiday job. She has told us it is minimum wage and she has to live in as it’s a holiday camp and she has long hours. She has today told us that they informed her they are deducting £95 a week for board and lodgings. I’m thinking this is a bit steep. In her first two weeks she has already worked far more hours then on her contract as when kids go missing they all get woken up to find them (it’s boys leaving dorms to get to the girls and vice versa - they not lost anyone!) staff from previous years say this is normal and why they live in. But it’s unpaid hours. I’m wondering if it’s legal to pay so little then deduct so much
