My boss asked me to take on a second role "temporarily." It's been 10 months. How long would you wait before pushing back?
  • If you think it is enough then push back.

  • My email only showed up til "temporary" I wish I saw the rest before. Did you negotiate time and pay? 10 months is not temporary, temp is like 2... months max. They are taking advantage of you. I say do this in writing because I feel they will retaliate once you set your new terms. Make up something, they lied to you, lie to them and don't feel bad about it. Companies, and people, will take advantage of you if you let them. They actually delight in it. you've got classes you want to take that overlap this temporary role, or the responsibility is costing you more money and you need to make more, or ask how you add this to your resume. If they never set the time frame, you can end your involvement. "I am willing to do this until x date to help with finding a replacement or give you time to think" definitely think on this maybe ask around a bit more, search linkedin and here, maybe glassdoor. Do you have relatives with more work experience to ask? Shit, ask a rando. Then proceed. more

  • Stupid… I would have pushed back after a week!

  • Was the time frame specific when he asked? If not then you need to set the tone. Also use this moment to request more compensation and promotion. ... If they say no then so do you. Don't be scared nor distracted by just a Lil longer. Respect  more

  • Depends on the weight of the role and if I’m billing for the time spent on it. If the clock ticks and the money is entering my account, it’s him who... determines how long the role will be temporary. 😊 more
