I am a scorpio/sag cuspian, i have 2 bosses that are geminis whom i am having great difficulty getting through to. I want to say that i feel they are taking advantage of me. Yes immediately i am pulling the logic v emotion agrument. I am their assistant and for the past 2 months i can count on one hand the number of times i have seen both my bosses at work. I cover their phones, do their work, and take their crap when they lay it out. The reason i feel they are taking advantage is that they know they have someone who handles their business so they can do their outside endeavors. They are never at work and it falls on me to someway manage to do work with 2 missing bosses. Whenever i want something to change and i go to talk to them i feel both "gang" up on me they obviously do not see it that way. They are very good on selling me on an idea but im a scorpio deep down and look at their actions more than words. So you can see the disconnect here and my frustrations levels are rising. I feel my freedome is restricted and im looking for a way out. I was attempting to help control a growing problem but it seems they are going to go about it the same way they always have...let me blow off some steam and think the problem went away. So is my only option something drastic like leaving to make a point?

Are you sure that you never worked for me— HaHaHa! No, seriously.

That's the way it was for me and the people that worked for me. The big difference is that I have a Taurus moon, so I tend to make sure people that I relied on were well compensated, and I'm not just talking about money. I would make sure that they had paid vacations to damn near anywhere on the planet, I used them to sustain my Gemini freedom. But, I NEVER misused them or took them for granted. But, a lot of what you describe sounds just like me, with the exception of manipulating an employee.

That being said, I hardly ever worked. I was just there to either put out a fire, sign documents, make the big trades, and I was out of there within two hours heading for the airport. Understand this, the people that were doing all of the hands on work are the cogs in the wheel. The people that they work for are getting paid based on your efforts. That's business. But, it's not what you do it's how you do it. Those guys just sound like they've taken freedom to the point of where it's abusing the efforts of the people that work for them. My employees would never say such things about me because they had perks, lots and lots of perks.

But, I don't know your company, so I can't really speak on that. But, if they are suppose to be there at certain times then they are setting themselves up for a fall. I worked for commissions so my business model may have been different. Now, if you're a nurse and they're doctors that's fucked up! :\

If you feel that strongly, quit. If not, do the Scorpio thing and set them up for failure, so long as you don't paint yourself into a corner. Hope this helps. 🙂

I would go straight to their faces and tell them exactly what you just posted. If they don't know, then they can't respond. One thing about us Gemini's with all of our ability to communicate, is that we communicate more with visuals and actions then you would think. The action is they get you to do the work, the work gets done, that's where you will find your action. Believe me, they know you have a problem. I am one of the most perceptive and intuitive people that I know, so I can't be the only Gem that feels this way. I really would like to here their side of the story. But, are they suppose to be there at certain times? Or do they actually have the right in being there whenever they want? If it's the latter, become a partner and do what they do. I put my assistant through school because he wanted to have freedom like I did. Now, he has his own assistant and he's doing what I did. That simple. That's business. Not to be insulting but my assistants got paid to do the grunt work because they signed the application to do that. I signed the app that stated I make my own hours. Like I said, become a partner. A good business is only as good at it's employees. But, good employees get hired by smart business people. Sounds like these two Gemini's were pretty damn smart. 🙂

One boss is out for pussy the other is very lazy and does not back up his partner like he should. one partner has balls the other does not. im just tired of not having fun and have been invited to other projects where i would be most appreciated. I have been very loyal to them and have spent time watching to see what they said would happen and it has not and i don't like being made a fool intentionally or not. they initially brought me on to be part of a team- that was 4yrs ago and there is no "team"
I admire them but i don't learn anything from them

fyi- i talked to one today and he is already getting flaky esp when it comes to his partner

who's Zeoblade?

i know this sounds silly...and you should probably take this with a grain of salt, but, have you ever thought about making a move on one of your bosses? i say this because a secretary with boss kinda thing is a fantasy for me...and i dont think im the only one( i hope...hehe). i mean if i was a chick, id no doubt take advantage of these kinda things!....just my thought..
