I have recently been given new responsibility at work, without a title change. While they did give me a small raise, they are still paying me far less than someone with my duties should make.In fact, I am still being paid less than the other person with my official title.

I took the job because I was (and still am) desperate for money due to a few things out of my control. They offered me $3 less than I asked for, but to hire me on the spot.

When they asked me to work more hours, I stayed. When they asked me to do another person's work I stayed. When they were severely understaffed, then lost the office manager and another important person....I stayed. Now, I am effectively working 2 positions.

Last week there was a problem with how some of our items were entered into the system...saying that I must have entered information in the 2nd page first. I told them I will definitely own up to the problem if I did it, but that as far as I know I have absolutely done it per instructions and would like to be led through it again.No word on when they plan to show me where I went wrong.

 Then today, a coworker comes to bring me an invoice. I tell him to put it in my mailbox and I will put it in. Jokingly he responds "Who gave you a mailbox?" Then the other person in the office responds that it is still trail and error. I, trying to bring back the light tone, say "A little less error everyday." Then they respond " if you say so." COMPLETELY SERIOUSLY.

Later, while doing my original duties I was hired for, the office manager comes to tell me I need to pay better attention because the same person from the office found I mis-filed an invoice in the K folder when it belongs in the L folder....(seriously they got stuck together)...and that they now are going through all of the to be paid invoices to make sure I didn't mess up again and it's a whole bunch more work for them.

I just don't know if I am a super crappy employee or if I have a crappy job.
