I was asked to tender my resignation

After the long talk on msn yesterday with andy, I spent some time talking to myself in the bedroom after that. I came to the conclusion that not only I shouldnt be angry, I should take a further step to make my life better.

At the current job, during the interview, I was told I will be assisting the sales person in her job, meaning I will be doing space planning, materials collection, presentation boards and etc. That jobscope is exactly as I like it, so I was quite pleased to grab this job.

But as I worked on, I realised it is not like that at all. I am doing the work of adl while she is busy with *ahem* *ahem*. I dont do space planning, materials collection or presentation boards much, less than 10% of the time. The remaining of the time I am doing things like quotation, delivery of catalogues, print pictures, send email to client, etc.

Totally off track.

Hence I decided I want to ask for a transfer, and I went to the HR to asked about the possibility.

Later when she came into the office, she began to go crazy. I asked her questions regarding work and she unwillingly answered them. When the secretary finished formatting the quotation, I calculated the total as I usually do as a double-check confirmation.

She immediately asked me what I was doing. I informed, and she told me that is NOT NECESSARY and asked me to bring the whole stack over to her.

I reminded myself not to be angered by her poor behaviour and I passed the stack to her, while she went thru the stack of more than 30 pages within 5 seconds.

She exclaimed again that checking is NOT NECESSARY!, so I left her and went back to do my stuff.

I have no idea what is she pissed about at the point of time, but I kept having to remind myself I mustnt be angry.

Then came afternoon, she dumped more work on me and told me she wants them by 6. I was still doing them at 4 and she came over and asked me if I can finished them within 15mins. I told her I cant, I need one hour at least, and checked with her isnt the drawings needed at 6 only?

She said yes, and then she said she wants to speak to me.

(There it goes again!)

I finished work at around 4.50pm and I passed the stack to her. She didnt even have a word of thanks and asked me to follow her to the meeting room.

I did, and she told me she have been hearing rumours spreaded by me about her. She said she already told me before that if there is something I am displeased with her I should just tell her and not spread rumours about her.

(I have no idea what is she talking about at all, but I cannot be bothered to defend myself. It is always she's right and I'm wrong anyway.)

She told me either I tender my resignation or talk to the director. I was shocked but I didnt give her the luxury to see me falter, even if it was only for a split second. I simply told her ok and walked away.

I think I should leave. I've prepared my resignation letter already, but I shall tender after I spoke to the director. Even if I am quitting, I am not going to do it for her. I've already addressed the letter to the director.

I am tired of being constantly angry here, and the management are always siding the 'seniors'. My other colleagues are having problems with their seniors but the management doesnt recognise the problem at all.

I want to be working in a job, best if it is 5-day week and internet connection. That's all I ask for, I dont mind workload at all! =)

But what kind of job should I look for, marketing maybe.
