Ugh
Im freakin' pissed off. Ive been an administrative assistant for a while now (three months at this last place) and this week was Administrative Assistant Appreciation week (with today Wednesday being Secretaries day) and my TWO bosses didnt get me shit! I shouldnt even be upset I already knew no one appreciated me. I mean yeah Im a temp and Im leaving in August but does that mean you cant at least give me a fucking CARD?- To top it all off ever other administrative assistant in this buidling got flowers at least. I do just about everything around here-travel arrangements, letters, correspondence, phone calls, answer calls, photocopy, fax, file, you name it and Ive done it (in an office capcity that is) and what do I get- NADA, ZIP, ZERO, ZELCH- ugh I cant wait to be out of here.

I'd send out an email as a 'thank you' for the success of Secretary Day to everybody as a show of appreciation from the secretaries. Make sure the boss gets it, but there's no mention of how screwed you got.

Just a nice little guilt trip.

yeah I was a temp at HP for 2 years. Hows THAT for temporary??

The thing is, they do treat you like second class citizens (compared to the regular employees) which really sucks.

HP has a policy to lay you off after 2 years, and they can re-hire you after 3 months at their discretion. All to keep you from thinking your a regular employee. I think the government gets on your back to give employees benefits if they've been around a long time.

I'm just trying to say, don't get too down about it, it's not you, it's the position. We still love you

If it make you feel any better: Happy Secretar.. i mean, Administrative Assistants Day!

Well honestly they have until the end of the week. But seeing as they arent here I dont think they are going to do anything.
I would like to tell them to take this job and shove it. I took over someone elses position! To top this whole ordeal off my boss called me 6 times yesterday and not once did he say "happy secretaries day" not once. I have the option to leave this job and I think I am going to. I am going to talk to my contact at the agency and see if they can find me another position- perhaps one that pays me a little more money, one thats closer to home, and one where the people are complete assholes....
yeah right!
