I work a web developer with a company employing 1000 people in offices throughout Ireland.
Recently the IT administrator left the company and as things are tough right now he is not being replaced. The IT Manager divided his duties between two of us but said the company would not be willing to increase our salarys to compensate for the increased workload.
The other employee works as a purchaser and their own workload has decreased dramatically recently as there is less purchasing going on. However my job is as busy as ever.
I agreed to take on the extra duties for a trial period. The Manager said he was not making us take on the work but as good as said that it would be better for us if we did it as the company is actively laying off staff at present.
After 4 weeks the extra work has meant that I am constantly interrupted and struggle to get my own work done.
I'm thinking of telling my manager this but wonder if I will be giving him an excuse to let me go if I do. Should I speak to HR about it or go straight to my manager?
