So frustrating...

The admin specialist won't train me to do anything related to the front area of the office. She is VERY territorial. That is a red flag for me as a temp: it means that I won't be hired on full-time as long as this woman refuses to reliquish her share of admin tasks. I am certain that's why this office can't keep a second admin specialist in the role - it's because of this admin specialist.

She doesn't keep a visitor log on the counter (she has her own Excel sheet according to staff - so she only completes it when she remembers to document each visotor and the name of the staff and time and date) and doesn't communicate to me that I'm supposed to keep a visitor log.

One of the staff asked me to start a visitor log. When I brought this up to the admin specialist she was dismissive, "ok, I guess you can do that." WTF.

She doesn't share any of the tasks she does with me or let me do anything.

She also will go over to my desk and take stuff off of it without communicating to me why she took anything. Like today, she took a client's money order off of my desk while the client was completing a packet. She was on her phone when I walked over to her desk, pointed to the client's money order, she turned her back to me ignoring me, so I took the money order and waited for the client to finish completing her packet. I couldn't put the money order inside the safe box because the admin specialist and her boss won't give me the combination.

She is doing a large mailing and didn't communicate anything to me about it either. She just has me creating labels and putting files together.

She mis-sent a bunch of faxes of clients applications too, and rolled her eyes, trying to blame ME. BUT...I got IT to pull up the fax logs of who sent those to bad fax numbers and bad emails, and HER email and name are attached to each fax and email. I laughed inside. It felt like retribution. Meanwhile, it's still my fault. Right?! Because I'm the temp.

Just a lot of gaslighting behavior. If they don't want a second admin, they shouldn't have hired a temp. I'm completly invisible.

I'm doing bare minimum as it stands. I'll just show up and sit here until the assignment ends. I'll also just keep applying for jobs.
