I am a painter, and my boss hired another painter to ask me to do odd jobs. What should I do?

Understand the reasons and communicate with the boss.

1. Understand the reason why the boss recruits another painter. If it is due to increased business volume, increased customer demand, etc., you can negotiate with your boss to allocate your respective work content to avoid being just assigned to do odd jobs. You can work with a new painter to complete the customer's painting needs to enhance work efficiency and achieve mutual benefit.

2. If the business volume is sluggish due to fierce competition in the industry, insufficient customer demand, etc., and the boss recruits another painter just to reduce costs, then you can consider looking for other opportunities or communicate with the boss, hoping to allocate Relatively fair work tasks and compensation to avoid unnecessary competition and disharmony between new employees and old employees.
