Lesson

They have had several pilots before me and it was that way with them too.
Guess I am the only one it bothers.

There's a lesson to be learned there. All too often we pilots are willing to do all kinds of BS. If your predecessors had some "integrity for the profession" you won't be in this situation. Coming in on your off days, if it's not in you job description is BS.

I did have a job description, which did not entail these duties. In fact I was told ths was not required. So I think the best I can do is keep on trucking until I feel I have fulfilled my obligation. (even though no contract)

you have no obligation. Just move on ASAP and say Thanks. I would also mention that the office BS time is the reason you are leaving. Maybe it will help the next guy. Who am I kidding...no it wont.

Your situation is far from normal in most corp. jobs

Good luck in the job search! It seems like a good market right now, where are you looking?

If you have a written job description, what is the problem? Don't show up at the office. If anyone questions why you are not there, tell them "it's not in my job description" and refer them to the job description. Tactfully, of course.

And, while you are at it, start looking for a new job.

no written job description. IT is the kinda thing where I know I can say No, and I have already tried to in a tactful way of course. But it does make for an uncomfortable work environment as the company is extremely small.

You are right though, the corporate job market is pretty good now and I don't think I would have a problem finding something else. But i haven't been here long and I don't want the reputation for leaving jobs all of the time.
