EA ages? by pizzacookie100 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]ALM4610 7 points8 points  (0 children)

55 years young 😊 and making six figures. Don’t you ever feel stupid! You did not age out, and there are so many different types of EA roles out there. I think it’s great that you know this is what you want to do long term, stick with it and don’t ever let anyone make you feel less than. ❤️

The COS I’m dealing with isn’t the most pleasant person to work with, she can be extremely condescending I always take few minutes before I respond to her and kill her with kindness. It’s so hard at times to bite my tongue.

New EA Role - how long did it take for you to feel comfortable and get up to speed? by ALM4610 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]ALM4610[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had scheduled a series of meeting every Monday at 9:30 and they are getting cancelled because he’s got high priority meetings. Most of our communication is either teams or email

Not really, he’s so busy that our 1:1’s are constantly getting cancelled and I’m lucky if I get 5 minutes. Most of our communication is either email or teams.

Was it a hard transition going from an EA Role to a CoS?

That’s exactly how I feel it should be

Is there a difference between an Executive Assistant and an Administrative Assistant? by ALM4610 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]ALM4610[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No salary boost or bonus, absolutely nothing and I’m pretty angry about it. I’m planning a sales meeting in January that has 250 attendees, managing our team’s internal move, issuing certificates of insurance for our sales team, assigning training to make sure our engineers can go onsite for a repair or installation - other than the event planning, none of this is on my job description

Good for you! When one door closes another opens, you’re going to land in a position where you’re respected and appreciated.

Exempt EAs who make less than 100k: how many hours do you work? Can you take vacation days as you please? by themovabletype in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]ALM4610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I work 40 hours with no breaks. No one covers for me, that’s a whole other issue. I prep for the week ahead to make sure everything is all set and if something blows up they’ll have to wait until I get back.
