I do my job (at my GA) well. A lot of it is rather routine so I know what I am doing. When something comes up and I no longer have an answer, I use the proper resources to figure it out. I would like to think that my boss recognizes this about me. I’m also the only person who works under him and the only person working in this particular ‘office’. So if something goes wrong, I realize that it assumably has to have been my fault.
But one thing that really pisses me off is when the stupidity of other people makes it look like I’m the one that screwed something up. I know that the person who went to my boss on a frantic search for such&such was not trying to get me in trouble or anything. Nor did I get in trouble. But I know my boss spent a good part of today (while I was not there) thinking that I royally messed up. That was not the case and he knows that now. But I can’t help but feel like he’ll remember the ‘oh she messed up’ part rather than the ‘nevermind someone else is just dumb’ part.
