Rita has been at her new position for a little over a year. She's worked very hard and put in lots of extra hours to do an excellent job. She wants to make a good impression with Bella and Sydney, the other two people in her department, by sharing the workload and being a team player. Lately when she stops by Bella's desk, she finds her Internet shopping for clothing, researching homes for sale or exploring possible vacations. Rita has also become aware of how much time Bella spends socializing with employees from other departments. As the new person Rita has been so buried with the amount of work Bella and Syndey assign her that she's never noticed this before.
At the department meeting this morning, Sydney announced their department would be responsible for a new project. She would not be able to take it on because she was completely swamped. Bella quickly agreed and suggested Rita should be the one responsible because she is so talented. Rita is already putting in a 50-hour week and does more than her share. What should Rita do?
Rita needs to confront both Sydney and Bella about this. She doesn't have to walk up and accuse them, but just tell them what she has realized and that she feels she has been doing most of the work around the office. If Sydney and Bella don't listen to her, Rita should talk to someone of higher authority about what is going on. It's not fair to Rita to be doing all the work when Sydney and Bella aren't doing anything. I know how that feels and it's probably overwhelming for Rita especially because she's a newer employee.
ReplyDeleteI think Rita needs to talk to Bella and Sydney right away because nothing is worse than being completely stressed and swamped with so much to do. I think they would listen to her beings that she has done so much for them already. She just needs to lay it all out on the table and tell them how she feels. If they say too bad, then maybe she needs to look for another job that won't make her so stressed. Or if she is higher up in the chain of command, maybe she needs to think about firing Sydney and Bella for not doing anything productive.
ReplyDeleteI think that Rita should talk to Bella and Sydney about it. I think that Rita should bring it to there attention of what she is seeing take place. If Bella and Sydney want to get upset with Rita and still think that she should do it all and don't want to take responsible for the work then Rita should start looking for a new job. Rita is already working to many hours and putting in her share and she deserves a break and deserves to be treated right.
ReplyDeleteI think that rita should talk to Bella and Sydney about it because if Rita takes this new project then how is she going to have time for other things when she also works 50 hours a week. I would tell Bella and Sydney that I cant do the project and if they say I would have to I would walk out and look for another job.
