I was initially confused by your use of the acronym EOD ...
Thesaulsurvivor
I read EOD monday, and thought dope they make a fake bomb and disarm it or play bomb related games to build teamwork........End of Day smh

Straight-out ask him why he wants that. If you have a somewhat decent relationship with your boss he should answer.

Sorry bud, You're probably getting fired. Happened to me last year. Me and my colleague were asked to do that. A month later we were gone.
We were replaced buy two people who worked for the directors in other company's under a slightly different job description.
babypigsarehamlets
That is categorically NOT a good thing. I’ve had this happen and it only fucking escalates afterwards
AdultPersistentAngst
Big uh oh
maumau93
I hope you claim weekend pay for doing it
bernaberts5
Used to be in the same field for 15 years. I found it was to save my position from the “re-org” cops trying to cut waste.
ChucklehutCyinc
As a manager that has had this requirement of me asked many times I agree. If I dont know you I cant defend what your value is effectively

You 're literally writing your own job posting.
Dudefromnotsoupnorth
Yeah don't answer. Why respect his deadline if he just wants to fire you? On the weekend no less.
nantukoprime
The Cisco tag explains it all. You part of one of their M&A transitions, or a group they are replacing with one of their M&A transitions?
hawkca
I hope you find something you love to do & you’re appreciated there too!
fredbloxx
if he wants to get to know you better at work he should ASK at work.

You're getting fired and replaced by a H1B
NaughtButOne
That doesn't sound very Inclusion & Diversity of you, bro.
It's something that's "happening" in IT fields, people getting fired, ridiculous job postings, excuses to hire outside of the country
NeatoVeto
Detailed? Sounds like you need to write a Dune level novel and smoke that fool’s brain.

Just say you’re in charge of hiding the bodies. When asked “what bodies?”, say you’re really good at your job.

On the plus side, you now have the opportunity to get the hell out of California.

Rural NorCal is the shit...I'll admit my bias having grown up here but being on Yosemite's doorstep is awesome and it's not crazy expensive.
aoimori
Agreed; it's my second-favorite place I've lived, after Pikes Peak. I'm a sucker for scenery.
Partner has a solid job, so probably not unfortunately
If you're making it work, good on you. I've visited San Fran. Nice place to visit, but you couldn't pay me to live there.
When I lived in Sacramento, it was cheaper to buy airline tickets from Sac to SF and back daily than it was to live in SF for your job.
Guidocat
You mean you couldnt earn enough to live there. Few can.
If you find your groove, it’s a great place to live.
Jaydice
@Urbanglitch any IT experience? Or just AV?
SoftFur
Of course they couldn’t pay you to live there, op isn’t sure if they’re still getting paid to live there.

If you’re my boss it is your responsibility to know what my duties/job/tasks are. yOuR’e mY boSs! ThAt’S yOuR joB.
fruplesnap
I'd advise to write up detailed description, but wait until Monday to submit. That way you can speak with new boss in person for reasoning.
cdel58
Well it does say EOB day for Monday so yeah by end of business day.

I’d probably flip the script and ask for a copy of my job description from him/HR.
Strike that, I just looked at your last post. Figure out how how your job overlaps some core company function, or project of his.
Preferably several areas if possible, and in ways that impact company revenue generation or retention.
TheDudeSkywalker
Its probably both. He wants to know what you do, and if its worth keeping you
Bobfromboblandofbob
Yep, if it were me I would work on my resume instead of making a list. If they don't know what I do than I am going to asume the company is1
going under and they are trying to stop the bleeding before they tank. 2
DietCokeIsTheBest
Doing the list is the starting point for your CV. It’s not always bad too. I had to provide a list so some tasks could be reallocated becaus
I was being overworked
I agree with Bob...but also do the list.
saintofchaoticgood
So... is he expecting you to do this off the clock. Fuck that dude. You didn’t get that email til Monday.
SpoilGOTandDie
This seems a bit weird to me as well.

EOD Monday is the end of the work day on Monday. Probably expecting a quick write up being done during the work day.
EOD Monday gives plenty of time in the day?

No. Leave out the odd jobs and the support for his private smartphone.

Count out hours, mine added up to 65+ hours per week. I'm paid for 45.
Ionlypostbatmanandbatmanrelatedthings
Make sure you're getting paid for it
arbucklecunningham
you've been given a blank check to define your job, rather it's what you actually do or what you want to be doing.
Stephen9000
It's not a blank check. It's a blank expense voucher to cover the checks he or she has been getting...
...with an unspoken implication that it might not be approved.

I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don’t have to. I have people skills, I am good at dealing with people!

As an engineer, I'll take your job, you ever tried to tell an engineer they're wro g when you KNOW they're wrong without a doubt?

As a recently promoted Project Manager (from engineer). Can I give it back? Try getting all those engineers working together constructively!

A recently graduated engineer who got project manager because he knows a guy and now makes more then you
I've gotten my degree in 2007 and been working as an engineer since. This is a completely different world.
