"Having a not so good employer"

I want to be productive on my workdays, and always say to myself "Can I call it a day?" before the day ends...

hi Jemia Young, in response to your question if my boss/best friend respond to social things outside of work hours with me? unfortunately no, perhaps she assumed to herself that we're just into boss-employee relationship and that's her way of emphasizing to me that there's already that boundary/wall that divides us now that I'm working with her company...

Sounds like a rough situation! I wouldn't blame you if you reached back out to your former employer and floated the idea of coming back if you didn't hate it there... Have you met with the Exec and really figured out what they actually need? What you're describing sounds like The Devil Wears Prada but without having Vogue on your resume when you leave.

I can say that both, the job itself and my not so good employer, to think that she just pirated me on my longtime work which I stayed for 17 years, unfortunately my boss is one of my best friend before, she called me and offer this job, By the way, I'm currently working as Admin Head/Executive Assistant, which I opted not to mention the Company Name. I always felt left out and being outcast even to the most important event in this Company, I don't know why But as far as I can remember, when we had our day 1 conversation she said that I will be in charge of those important events like Gen.Assembly, Gen. Meeting, wherein I have to be represent her whenever she is not around, that I will handle those projects and Administrative works as well, but those works did not materialize, more often than not I am the one who makes my schedule,workloads and activity for each day, because she don't give any instructions for the day and the worst thing is, she don't answers nor reply to any messages via any form of communications like text messages, e-mails, messenger and I find her disrespectful/rude, she just told me that she's not fond of answering/replying because she's busy, I even confronted her about this matter but she just shrugged off her shoulder as if its not a big deal for her. I'm really disappointed and a bit exasperated for accepting her offer...this is really a worst nightmare!

To make sure I am understanding correctly. You said your boss is one of your best friends? Does she respond to "social things" outside of work hours with you?

Is it just burnout, or is it the job itself?

That’s no fun. Can you further indulge why you’re not a fan of your employer? Ex: Are you bored at work? Is it the people you work with? Do you not like the job projects you’re on? A little more detail might help with giving some advice!
