I've worked at a small ad agency for almost two years. My official position is Account Coordinator, and I primarily assist my boss, an Account Executive, with her clients. I also assist the Digital Department on a day to day basis, and help some other Account Executives with smaller tasks. My workload is quite full as it is, I usually work at least 50 hours a week (with no overtime).
I studied design in school, so in the past I've covered for our Art Director while he goes on vacation (we only have one person in our "Art Department". Whenever I've done this, I've been paid an extra $xx/hour for every art job I worked on because it isn't part of my job description.
One of the company owners, who isn't my direct boss, caught wind that I could make artwork several months back. Since then, he's been sending me art jobs for a church related personal project he's been working on - totally unrelated to our company or clients. Overall, I've made 150+ versions of artwork for his project. They're all quite similar, so it isn't especially challenging, but my laptop isn't the fastest, so working on Adobe programs can sometimes take longer than I would like. And, it takes my time away from working on my actual boss's projects. Often I get these art requests on the day that they're due, so I have to drop everything to get them back in time.
When I first started doing this for him, it didn't cross my mind to ask for compensation because I thought he would just need a few things done. And because he's an owner, I felt like I was obligated to do whatever he asks. He usually has his assistant send me the requests, so I rarely work directly with him. Now that it's been several months of so many different art jobs, and there's no real end in sight, I feel kind of cheated. I get paid for work-related art jobs (something that was arranged with a different owner), so I can't help but be bothered by working on personal art jobs for no compensation other than my base salary. If I was being paid, I might work on his projects on my own time, then I could get my actual work done during work hours.
Should I just suck it up and continue doing what I've been doing? Or should I approach this owner about the situation? If I do approach, I also wonder how to do it without appearing entitled or money hungry.
TL;DR: the owner of my company has me work on his personal art jobs for no additional compensation, which takes my time away from my actual job. Should I suck it up or talk to him?
