Frustrated
I am supposed to be the supervisor of 2 group homes but they also have me doing same work as my subordinates. Double work because we are understaff, my employer classified me as an exempt employee. Now I am doing double the work and when I complain my employer reminds me that I am salaried and exempt employee. They also told me if I don't like the overload they can change me to hourly. I feel frustrated!!
It’s unfortunate that you’re in this position. I recently Applied for a job and it was suggested that I’ve become salaried. In my past experience salaried means pay you 40 hours a week if your work 50 to 60. It seems to be the new business model these days to downsize the workforce and increase the workload and the employees that are available. It’s sad to see the changes happening because it has taken away a lot of the joy of the job that was always so important to have. I would suggest you find a better position with a better company and knowing what you know now make sure that you Are clear and what you will and won’t do. Best wishes for you!
Sometimes you have to just roll up your sleeves and pull your weight along with everyone when times are tough. It sucks, but you will get through it.
Ivette , sometimes you got to do what you got to do. Think positive and things will get better , good luck
