[quote=Anonymous]If there's an office admin and it's purely an administrative task (printing, copying, faxing, filling, data entry), then hand it off to the admin unless the boss specifically said it has to be you because presumably the admin is crashing on some other fire drill. If there is no office admin, then everyone should be printing their own handouts, not the lowest-ranking woman on the team. Sure, the boss can ask her to do it, but that's a bad idea on many counts. I had a boss who voluntarily disclosed several times that he had never worked with a female non-admin before I came along and it showed. He asked me to fax, file, order water for the office, etc. I gently trained him to remember that I was a professional hire. His boss also redirected him a few times towards the actual admin on the team. You can stand up for yourself in a polite and professional manner. You don't earn respect by being a doormat. [/quote]
