So much to do!
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
Recently I started a job which I like very much. I’m lucky to have the job in this economy, but I think that I’m underpaid for all the things I’m responsible for!
A couple of my co-workers who have been there for a few years do very little by comparison to the load I have.
As a matter of fact I think one of them is playing hanky-panky with the boss. I don’t’ if there’s an affair going on, but I’m getting darn sick and tired working twice as hard with no benefits.
Should I say something?
Unappreciated
Dear Unappreciated:
Be careful or you might find yourself with benefits soon—from the unemployment department.
If you’re good at your job, your boss will recognize your worth, and he or she won’t want to lose you. There’s a saying, “the crème rises to the top”.
If you remain unhappy then you might want to begin looking elsewhere.
If there’s any hanky-panky going on, it’s not your business. Stay focused on your work, so that the benefits you do get you can take to the bank.
Mrs. Figgins
Love,advice
