Default How will you do?

If you just started a job not long and you find the job scope is totally diferent from what the interviewer had told you in the interview and you couldn't really adjust to it. Will you resign or continue to stay on bty the company might need you to work on weekend without OT pay and time off.

Hmm they told me is admin which is answering calls, doing invoice and petty cash, liase with publishers etc but when start work relaise need to be secetary as well and also do production work and incl those i mention above. As for working on weekends is bcos here is a music com so when singers got autograph session or events to attend will need to go help out although not always but still need work as when needed.

the pay is ok but can't save much per mth as after paying bills is just enpugh to surive benfits not so good and also i won't get to see celebrities much as if work on weekend is help to do odd chores like helping buying shoe soles, water and even might need maintain queue for autograph session. I also is trying to get used to here but seem like cannot want give up liao. Bty can u imgaine the employment letter the company give me is printed on plain paper without company name? They also never incidated if i resign before probation ended how long notice i need to give and also will i need to compansate them?
