Dear Alia:

You want to keep your job the, that is your goal, correct?

Prepare for that conversation with your manager, you can prepare for it by writing different scenarios of what he might say to you and prepare your response. This may help you during the real conversation, so you don’t freeze or say something impulsively, without thinking.

Do you know why your job duties are not what you were hired to do? If in the beginning they were and then changed, maybe the business needs changed, a new customer or supplier. Maybe an employee who performed the duties you are now doing quit, and so the duties fell on you. Anything like that?
