Hi DaisyLily

I agree with a lot of the good advice you have already been given. It seems to me that they are taking advantage of the fact that they have both been there for years and are treating you like the office junior. However, if they are working at the same level as you, they have no authority to do this. I know that it is easier said than done to stand up for yourself when you find it difficult, but I think (as Carey said) that it would be a good idea to have a confidential chat with your boss to find out exactly what you should be doing. That will make it easier to refuse to do pieces of work they push your way `as not part of your role'. I am not a naturally assertive person myself, its something I constantly have had to work at, so I know how you feel, but I also feel that the more you let someone get away with something, the more they will do it! The next time they ask you to do something why don't you try saying (nicely)I'm sorry you will have to do it yourself, I'm busy and have my own work to do. I bet they would be so shocked that they would think twice about treating you that way in future! I wish you lots of luck - I know its not easy but no-one should have to put up with that in the workplace. Don't let them win!
