My boss wants me to cook for him
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am 23 years old and work as a secretary with a private company in Kumasi. My boss is a friend of my uncle, so it was relatively easy for me to get the job. But now I think my boss is taking advantage of that relationship. He gives me odd jobs to do. He even brings some clothing from home for me to wash.
Recently, he gave me money to cook and bring it to him in the office. I think this is not part of my official duties as a secretary.
Obaa Yaa, I love my job but I do not like this kind of unofficial wife relation my boss is trying to have with me. Show me how to go about this tactfully.
Sherita, Kumasi.
Dear Sherita,
I guess the safest thing is to find another job. The man is taking advantage of his friendship with your uncle to make you a maid instead of a secretary.
You can do things for him once in a while and make excuses for others but make sure you look for another job.
