she has to support customer that are in the US, as well as Taiwan. How do you support someone who is 16hrs ahead without working into the night or on sundays (their monday).

not only that her work load is easily enough to overwhelm 3 people.

when she was gone on a business trip to taiwan for 16days, her boss and 2 other people covering for her (only her US accounts) couldn't handle it.

The end result was that, they decided to move this other person into my gfs US account.

So yeah the work is very necessary. only 8 hrs a day is the usual work hours but she has enough on her plate for easily double that amount.
Sounds like my brother's job, I am dreading the day when I join that crowd. :eek4:

:chuckles: it's funny because part of the reason why it's so busy for her is because she worked so hard to grow the accounts.

you do well, your customers buy more from you, you get more work, etc.

but she has received 2 raises from the higher ups without her saying anything. however she is now on a campaign to get her salary level up to where it should be for her level of qualification and responsibilities.

aka 25% less then what her male peers are making :happysad:
