Thanks so much for all the pointers. I still have not had my meeting. My boss finally talked to me about it and said he will review me after he reviews two other people because they are were hired in Dec and I was in Jan. One got a review last week so I am hoping the other one will as well soon.
I think over the holidays I am going to make a nice list of all the things I did when I started and all the things I do now and have learned along the way. I want to highlight all the important things that I think makes me valuable.
Only thing I am afraid of is before I knew all this accounting software and all theses reports to do and inventory methods and such and now that we hired a new admin I think he wants to teach her everything. His idea was that I can be sick any day and noone has to worry, I kind of think thats bull as Ive been sick without a admin being there and the place has run just fine.
We are now having our corporate office do all our accounts paybale as they spend so much time reconciling the accounts at the end of every period that it will be easier to have all the branches give over AP to Corp. I am totally fine with it as I can do it, but its not something I love to do. It scares me a bit though, its one less thing they need me for now.
My boss says well soon once you teach the admin stuff, I can have you focus more on customer service and more on other things. I just hope he is being honest and will have more things for me to do.
When I was hired on from a temp agency, I was temp to perm, I negotiated a salary increase as the temp agency was making a killing off me. They didnt want to give me what I wanted and I knew I deserved more, but I was afriad theyd say oh well, we can find someone else. Thats why I am a bit scared now that they could replace me if I want too much. I know what other Office Managers make around here, but doesnt mean they will pay that to me...
Well see after Christmas and the new year.
