Any advice gratefully taken (tomorrow - about to put ds to bed right now).
OK so applied for job - got interview and rather surprised to get the job givcen the work test was nothing to do with description.
All good as part time but issues are brewing I can see. My current job is 90% nothing on my jd and the director is happy with that. I'm dealing with it well. My actual manager (who reports to the director) is very new in her job with no management/ sector experience (long story). No issues for me as I've done the job of two grades up and can manage myself and I'm not political as the job suits my current circumstances.
The job is narrow but insists on Toil (I've never experienced this). I've seen lots of people exploit this tiol but not my issue.
Three months and part time on I've been told my my manager (not remotely experienced in her job or as manager) that I cant get toil and hence I must do a strict 9-5 with 1 hour lunch (that she specifies). OK, fine, but my job which is not remotely in my jd is much more than that and I cannot do my job without this toil overtime.
It's causing issues as I'm told to just do my hours but then told I'm not flexilbe. I'm trying to be and I can be but if I do any overtime I'd be the ONLY peron in the office to do overtime without this benefit of TOIL.
My boss has been on leave and I've to cover for her which means ,y work is abandoned (I cannot take leave when she's off as I have to do her work, but this is not the other way around). She's been off I've had to abandon my work and and done her work well) so I'm now seriously behind my work and she's come back (seeing I've done her work better) and is pissed off.
But yet other colleagues are really pissed off I cannot help them and without gettinng my boss and her boss into trouble I'm getting grief. Plus I'm already doing lots of overtime without the benefits that all other colleagues get.
How do I approoach this without losing my job.
Any ideas I'll pick up tomorrow.
Many thanks
