Sincere: Advice On My Career

 I have been working for this particular organisation for the past ten years. I started with them with WAEC and i will soon have my HND certificate.  Nothing was given to me on my ten years of  service.  I do the work of a secretary, accountant, admin mgr., personnel, and sometime that of a cleaner, just name it.    I never complained unless early last year that is 2007 when one of my boss accused me that i have not been doing my job well, simply because a staff came late and i do not ask him why he came late.

After  analysising what has been going on i decided to approach them to tell me my job specification. This i did. Also i asked them to  tell me where i was lacking on all the above mentioned designation.  They only looked at each other and kept quite. We sat like that staring at one another for close to five minutes before one of the directors said that i should go, that they will get in touch with me to tell me my job description. I was employed a secretary but now i don't know what i actually do because majority of my works is outside secretarial duties.

Two months or thereabout, they called me that they need an accountant, that i should placed an advert, but the senior director argued that will be too much to place advert.  That i should get somebody, which a friend of mine adviced me against.  That they should employ somebody they know.  They keep on prolonging the employment issue. I still carried on with the large work load. Then i placed the advert on my own advice that they were just over labouring me. Am not being paid for the extra work load, in short my salary compare to what am doing is just a peanut.  Even people close to them will see the way i handled the job will also said that i work as if the job belong to me, so devouted, deligent and so on, that anyway i paid must be good, this i always laugh it off.

What actually killed my moral, is this we employed an accontant who only worked for a day and resigned.  I called her and she said that her job has not been specified, and that the director told her that the books are not in order. 

I got to the office, believe you me. I was down, i approached them and  told them that the accountant has resigned, they said so, let her go now.  Then the senior director asked me what did she say made her resigned.  I told them exactly what she said.  He then hissed and said she doesnt know  where to start from, that she must be inexperienced.  Then i asked them what do they mean that the books are not in order?
They denied ever saying such a thing, sorry to say but i broke down, and said after serving the company for over ten years, the thank you i will get is a stab at my back.  I felt bad, i felt been used, i felt very very bad.  I told them that i will no longer do any work apart for my sec. duties, that common certificate awrd they cannot ever give to me after ten years.  The thing is that I felt bad and said a lot of things that normally, i won't have said to them.  But after that i was relieve as if a load was off my shoulder.

Few hours later the senior director called me and said that is not as if they did not recognise my contribution to the growth of the company, that they are planning some good for me but i should mind the way i loss my temper that no body mentioned any thing of such to the accountant and so on.  That is not ever the problem now.  Any time i worked into the office i feel bad and depressed, i discover that i can no longer function the way i used to.  As if i no longer car about my job.  I don't understand it at all.  Please a need sincere advice on what to do.  Thank you.

Yes
i know am not supposed to get into temper i just couldn,t help it.

seems you are free with your boss/directors, i
think you should specifically book an appointment with them
that way you can discuss your workload and your pay and benefits
you should be getting paid for doing more than you do
you should also ask for a binding contract with new job specification and
salary

Tell them about the going rate for the work you do at similar companies and
remind them you will be getting a new qualification- hint you are tempted with
better working environment at other companies at the same time you are committed
as ever to their incompetent self organisation 

good luck

Obviously, you now lack the passion for your job. Passion is what kept you going even when the workload was large and the pay was peanuts. Now the passion is gone, something needs to rekindle it. Sometimes, a payraise might help (but not all the time). A job change is very advisable at this pointnow that you still have a job, look out through the window and see what you can get.

I really appreciate all your contributions.

I have been thinking on how to go about it all.  An account officer was  supposed to resume today. But did not show up.  I understand from one of the boss that she will resume on June.  That means doing all the workload  till June.  A colleague said i should refuse to do more jobs, i felt well i have ben doing for several years now what difference does three more months make?
 
My HND by God's Grace will be next year.
