Shelby:



My very first admin job was for a mall office. My job was basically to support the Mall Manager's admin because she was as overloaded and unhappy as you. Based on my experience and your complaints, I think mall offices in general are this way.



Andrea gave some great advice (As usual). Seek out your counterpart with the home office for advice. It will alert them to the situation, without tattleing.



I agree you should update your resume and get out of there. But, in the meantime you can help the next person in line get a better start by communicating with the home office and alerting them to what is going on.



In the end of my short-lived employment with a mall, I was sucessfull in having the mall manager fired for his lack of brain matter. But of course he also had me demoted (sent me to the info desk 5 hrs a week, from my 40hr admin job), and eventually laid off because I was 18, single and pregnant. (Stooooopid man!) The reasons are very different, but it shows the importance of communication with the home office.



Best of luck to you.
