I need advice on how to talk to my boss?

My boss keeps adding tasks and not adding money or hours. I work part-time, but he expects me to do full time work but not stay over my part time hours. I have tried to tell him that nothing is getting done, but he won鈥檛 listen to me...any advice?I need advice on how to talk to my boss?
How about this: Keep a list on the computer of all the tasks you are supposed to do. Put a column for ';estimated time to complete';. Mark things off the list when you are done. Maybe have a column marked ';date completed.'; Show him that you have many hours of open projects, but only so many hours per week. If you work 20 hours per week, and have 80 hours of open projects, then type at the bottom ';4 weeks worth of work.'; Give him a copy of this list every week and keep a copy for yourself.





You can also use this same list to prioritize which is most important.....I need advice on how to talk to my boss?
I took a mini-conference on ';How to Get Respect'; for administrative assistances. It was really about people not understanding how much we do. This is what they suggested:


1. Make a list of all duties


2. Add deadlines for each


3. When you give a time/date for something to be completed make sure it's accurate. Error on the side of giving yourself extra time.


4. Touch base with him on a regular basis, maybe even daily, to show the progress (on non-progress) of things.





If he sees a long list he will hopefully understand why others are not getting done.


Good Luck!
First, if you don't have other employment options, you may not want to push the issue.





However, if you feel strongly about your case, put it in writing. Deliver a to-the-point memo that indicates that 1) you like your job and that you would be happy to do more, but that 2) if your duties are going to increase, you need either more compensation for getting more work done in less time, or more hours per week to get the additional work done.





It might be best to just have it two or three sentences, polite and with no ultimatums or personal comments. It may be that there just isn't the budget for what you think is fair. In that case, you need to find another position. Good luck!
First you must be prepared to handle the conversation. Have 2 or t3 solotions to suggest for any problem that you pervceive. Read ';How to win friends and influence people'; by Dale Carnegi. It is a foundation work in the arena of people skills. Also reckognize that you have to show the boss how it helps him to solve the problems. Also , there are those that are just immovable. If that is the case , and you are unhappy, find another job.
do only the work he is paying for and what does not get done bring to his attention actions speak so much louder than words
You need to show him everything that's in queue. You need to ask him which is a priority, which needs to be done second and so forth. Lay it all out and show him. Ask for direction. If it's too much, he needs to know.
You have to really, really try and get his attencion. If he doesn't listen to you then you have to get tough and tell him whats happening. Or write him a note or sumthing, like a letter letting him know. You don't want to get blamed on sumthing that he think you did but you didn't do it because he wasn't listening, right? So don't get toooo tough because you don't want to get fired. So just try and talk to him and set up a appiotment and talk to him. If he doesn't listen tell him he has to because if he doesn't nothing if going to get completed. Just try it because in order to have a great job, and a great job experience....your boss and yourself have to communicate.

Ask him to help you prioritize your tasks. Let him know that you have a lot of tasks to accomplish each day %26amp; that since there's no real way to get them all done in the allotted hours, you'd like his feedback on what is most urgent/important %26amp; what can wait. You can also let him know if you're available to work more hours that you would be happy to stay late to get more done.
Do the amount of work that can be done in the duration that you are there. When it's time for you to go home and all the work is not done, tell him ';I didn't finish all the work you wanted done because I've run out of time. If you would like me to stay and finish I will but I expect to be paid for it. Otherwise it will have to wait til tomorrow to get done.'; If he keeps pushing, find another job.
