I've had such an issue with my parents for such a long time. Working with my mom is so difficult. She is the owner of the Insurance agency I work at and she shows up late all the time for appointments. In the past few weeks I've probably logged her into her computer about 10 times so it was at least up and running by the time she got there. I just want to be appreciated. I just want to do my job and not have to make excuses for every single person around me. I want to not be the one to kiss ass when I did nothing wrong. I go to work and am pulled in 50 directions every single second. I am the owners daughter so since I am now the first person they see, and they see we have the same last name, I can't shake them off even though I am supposed to just redirect them, but the hell with making my mother understand that. No one gets it. I also have to organize all the lists and manage all the sales that I do against my will. If I try to pass anything on to my coworkers (like I am supposed to) it creates more questions than it would if I just did it myself.
Which leads me to my problem to overcome... If I teach, I will be able to pass things on in the future rather than having to take it on myself last minute. But, I can't have faith in anyone to not switch jobs (thus thwarting all my hard work on training them) because my mom is so unreliable about reviews and warranted raises. It is a stressful job. I hate everyone I work with at some point or another even if I would get along with them excellently outside of work. I hate what I do. No one ever wants to take the "buck" so to speak on service related tasks. You just have to learn to do that and explain even if you hate what you're relaying. I would not mind doing it if I my job wasn't doing every single other thing (like reconciling both the customer and business accounts, inventory, technology, phones, re-starting marketing programs for every customer for the past 5 years since we're so behind, managing all other marketing lists, training, holding reviews with customers since no one else feels competent), quotes, house photos (for every house we insure, and service/billing related issues. I seriously want to call in every day, only it would be worse if I did. 9 times out of 10, I hate my life. I spin my wheels 24/7. I hardly take anytime for the pleasures in life, only I'm bitter that i don't. I just work and work and work. My mind never gets to quit between college and work so I just shut down. I can't even tell you what it has taken for me to convince my fiancé to LET me get a mother fucking cat. Yet, now I'm just worried it will only add to my overwhelming plate.
