[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your title?[/quote]

My full title is pretty specific so won’t list it here but I am a manager.[/quote]

So not C-level?  Did you not mean to imply that in your op?[/quote]

I work in the C-suite as a manager.  I’m sorry I wasn’t clear (I was not intending to mislead). [/quote]

Ok that makes a difference. That said yes to echo PP you should still address it with your CEO since he's your manager. What do you say ? "Hi I feel like my current scope/projects do not align with the job description I thought I was hired for/I'm concerned about my career growth based on current trajectory of projects/I'd like to explore projects more in line with [insert your job description/whatever you actually want to do]."

There are so many ways to do OP. Please don't overthink this. You won't make it to C-suite if you are anxious about directly and professionally addressing your current situations. [/quote]

NP. I'd be careful. I can't tell if she is doing both what she was hired to do AND clerical things, or if the clerical things have to do with executing the job she was hired to do since she doesn't have an assistant.

I think OP is rightfully trying to analyze the situation before saying something and sounding like a Prima Dona.

That said, if other people are asking her to do assistant-type work for them, then I would definitely bring it up to her boss. While I am happy to do the work to bring the projects you and I are working on to fruition, I am concerned that other higher level people are asking me to do their assistant's work as well. Or something. [/quote]
