Job: Tailor, Dressmaker, or Custom Sewer (Canada)

I started working for a family run business over 20 years ago. At that time there was 3 of us that worked in 1 department. Over the years due employee vancancies I am left to run the dept on my own and has been that way for more than half of my years served.

Since my start at this retail company I have been given more responsibility then you can imagine. I love this but I have never been compensated for the added work load. Now we have 2 stores and I am responsible for that as well.

There is 1 other employee other than myself that has been here for a long time. He is of the male gender.

If I had to be honest I do 3 times the about of work he does. Not to consider, I replace him when he is not here, and take care of my own responsibilities as well.

I am getting the impression as long as I can handle these responsibilities they have no intention of hiring anyone else to replace former personnell.

I am the longest employeed women ever here and for some reason I don't advance or get benefits like my other male gender co-workers.

I would love another job! The only thing I have going for me is that I have a job of 20 + years.

I feel it's like security in a way. Or am I wrong.
