I feel like such a baby, I nearly end up crying when I get off the phone to him. He's the kind of guy who thinks he is in charge, despite being told many times that he is not.
Yesterday, he rang saying he is taking the afternoons this week off because his children are not at school (he works from home, and he shouldn't really be just doing that if he doesn't make up the time). He was asking me to do one of his jobs for him, to which I stressed I am extremely busy, (I;m an app developer and have my deadline coming up, plus my holiday for two weeks starting next week, so really don't have time - he didn't care how busy I was, and said he wanted me to do it. I had no choice but to reluctantly say okay.
As the day went on, I was so busy, plus the other woman in the office is off this week so I've been having to deal with incoming phone calls and stuff. So I've been so stressed and so busy, I completely never even thought about doing what he asked. I even have been staying late at work lately I've been so busy.
He rang this morning being so horrible demanding to know why it hadn't been done, and if he asks me to do something he expects it doing and that it's "just not good enough" etc.. I again explained how extremely busy I am, and that I don't have time. His reply was that it doesn't take long at all etc - which I felt like replying "well if it takes such little time why can't you do it yourself then!!" I was so angry, but also upset as well. I work extremely hard, and always do above what is expected of me - he is known for just trying to pass everything off onto other people and thinking he is in charge or something.
He then told me he wants it doing, so I now have to take my time to do it all this week, when I already have been having to stay behind at least an extra hour (which I don't get paid for or anything, I do it off my own back because it would look bad on me if I miss the deadlines). He didn't care how busy I am, he thinks whatever he wants is more important - it's only posting a few things on social media, it isn't even important, but it takes a lot of time.
It didn't matter what I said to him, so now I don't know what to do. I obviously have to do it now, but I feel as if then I am accepting I am going to let this horrible man walk all over me. He is one of them people who thinks he is all posh and better than everyone else and I hate it. It's not just me that doesn't like him either, but I feel like just because i'm the youngest that he feels he can walk all over me. I don't know what I should do.
