boss taking advantage?
I have a boss that is always asking for favors from the staff underneath them. Today was the icing on the cake (for me at least) She was stuck back at home b/c of family obligations and was running in late for a meeting she had with her boss. We work in the city; she drives in and parks in a garage 2 blocks away. She actually called my co-worker and asked her to come downstairs and park her car for her! I couldn’t believe it. In the past; someone has had to go to the garage and give them her keys when she forgot to leave them with the attendant. I once had to go a few blocks over to pick up a badge for her that she needed for a work conference that evening. We all end up doing some sort of favor every now & then for various things. These aren’t very frequent but when they happen I sort of feel confused if I should do it; and if I’m wrong for feeling a certain way about it? We’re in a professional work setting. We’re all experienced professionals in our field. She doesn’t have an assistant; but sometimes I think she feels since we’re her staff we can do those sorts of things?
Am I wrong for feeling a certain way?

Nope.
Taking advantage is taking advantage.
I have similar stuff going on at work right now and it has started to make me feel extremely angry.
I am getting to the point where I CAN'T stop feeling resentful so I have started to send out resumes elsewhere.

Re: boss taking advantage?
Who does your boss report to? If its a higher up in a management chain, I would email her what she asked you to do and bcc: her boss, so at least the higher ups are aware of her shenanigans. I worked for 1 boss who was like that, unfortunately he was the head partner of the entire organization so there was nothing I could do. I ended up quitting. Ugh. That stinks!

Re: boss taking advantage?
my boss reports to the CFO of the entire company-everyone seems to laugh off these requests; i haven't discussed it with any co-workers of mine at least not in a serious way.
