They are privately dangling the carrot of a full-time position so you don’t question or challenge the terms of your employment. The company does not and cannot love you. I would approach your boss and outline for her that you’re working full time and should be brought on as a proper employee with benefits. Before you stage this intervention, ask yourselves what ultimatums you’re willing to set, and what consequences you’re willing to impose if she fails to address her drinking. I don’t envy the position you’re in, but I do hope that your boss hears your concerns and finds the help she needs.
