Please help me with this dilemma...
I was offered a part time position that entailed more that the title itself. I accepted the position, however during the training I found out that working at the Front Desk of a mentally ill residential facility comes with a lot of responsibilities. Not only am I responsible for distributing meds to the patients, I have to help take care of the building and the upkeep of it. I have to take care of the fire alarms throughout the property, I have to make sure the floors are clean by keeping it clean myself, I have to document any & everything that occurs on the property. If any of the Clients relieve themselves anywhere besides their own toilet facilities, I have to clean it up. Not only that but if the roof alarm goes off I have to check the roof to make sure no one has committed suicide & then I have to run downstairs and check the back of the building to confirm it. The list goes on & on. Yes I do need a job because I am working part-time as Group Counselor (and I'm not happy or comfortable). I live here in NYC, I have a Bachelor's Degree, I just sent my daughter off to college and I am working on my second daughter. If a full time job was to land on my lap, I'd grab it but to what expense? My question is, should I meet with the director who hired me & let this new position go? I've never heard of such duties before.
Would continue to always look for a full time job that meets your educational degree, personal goals and interests, pay based on experience and time in that industry. Part time jobs are ok, but they often do not require stringent responsibilities . Those type duties you show are both supervisory and menial in comparison. Would keep your supervisor informed of the tasks you are performing. Learn the art of assistance and delegation of tasks. Like others have said, I agree that you should document the tasks that you perform that are extra ordinary to your job title. Then bring it up at your performance evaluation with Human Resources. Make sure to be using Personal Protective Equipment / PPE when cleaning. Never spontaneously quit a job without first securing additional or future employment. Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to give a 2 week notice of stopping work. The only exception to that is if someone on staff , resident, customer is violent or forces you into an unsafe personal situation in order to cause you to harm yourself or someone else, you should walk off until the matter is resolved.
Wait until your 90 day performance review to bring it up.
What is the dilemma? Did you not ask what your responsibilities would be in the interview?
