British workers waste nearly a month each year struggling to keep up with demands placed on them for which they have not been given proper guidance, a study has suggested.
Pete's Points:The study by training body City & Guilds found nearly one in five office workers had difficulty coping with the simple tasks asked of them.
A further third felt frustrated when unable to handle the daily demands of the office.
Today's office worker was simply expected to keep up with new technology, with one in three complaining they had not received any training from their employer to help them manage their administration."

If you do NOT identify with this story then you are amazingly lucky!
If you DO identify with the story then for goodness sake tell your boss.
If he or she is still not convinced, put your tale into simple dollars and cents. That is to say a minimum of 1/12 of your salary is already wasted and on top of that there are the potential costs related to breaches of the occupational health and safety requirements if you fall over ill because of stress in the work place.
The CHEAPER alternative is either to match your skills with the job or to provide adequate training before people ask you to do work and then some coaching and mentoring when you first start.
