I agree whole-heartedly! I've had to tell several managers that I was not a
glorified secretary. On one VB development team, the project manager
assigned me all the routine tasks, such as getting new team members
connections, passwords, etc. But I didn't feel to bad, he assigned a
developer the job of "social secretary." It all depends upon the structure
of the team. Getting all the routine nitty-gritty for the team certainly
gave me a good insight into the corporate culture.
