Or they wouldn’t have told their employee to take less work. Now I understand why a boss would do that since it isn’t bad advice if you are genuinely looking out for your workforce. However, that was now the reason behind this ‘concern’. Why are people are always so surprised when you do what they asked you to do in the first place? I mean the boss wanted this employee to focus only on their duties.
But when they did what was asked of them, the boss then asked them to just the opposite. I bet they are regretting their decision right about now after the employee refused to help them out since it was the ‘managers’ job and they were clearly not the manager. Revenge has never been so sweet.

This is very true and I am absolutely OK with someone looking out for my best interests, my issue lays in that boss has been getting stick for her work and I think there has been given feedback to her boss about how much I do from colleagues and other agencies we work with which I guess has filtered down, hence trying to put down my work. –more-input
