I'm a PA working in finance (investments) and I was tasked with creating a big spreadsheet with loads and loads of different tabs relating to various investments. I don't really like my job, I don't like the company I work for in terms of culture etc and I am not interested in finance/investments, I have tried to be interested but I'm just not, anyway, I am looking for new jobs.
The spreadsheet is not finished and is a work in progress but my boss looked at it and spotted a few stupid careless errors that were caused through my own lack of attention to detail. I hold my hands up, they were careless mistakes (3 in total). My boss gave me a bit of a bollocking saying I need to focus more and that I work 'superficially' (I guess she means that I look at my work only at surface level) she then said 'are you interested in the work you've been given' and I said yes, even though I'm really not.
I was thinking about it last night and I am now wondering if I should have just been honest and said no, in my head whilst she was talking to me I was thinking maybe I should just tell her I'm looking for a new job, but I know that's risky and then when she asked the question I just said yes before I really thought about it. I guess I'm curious what others would have done in this situation?
