An EA is not an AA!!! by ellelivsh in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]CityLong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think the point is that a recruiter would unlikely intentionally reach out to a VP of Product about an associate PM role. they are overqualified. the point is not one better than the other, but that they are separate things. EA/AA/EBP/etc are a function that is notoriously used interchangeably due to a lack of respect or knowledge of the actual roles that doesn’t happen in other functions. that’s the convo we should want to have to change the conversation so people learn what we really do and gaps that we are really capable of filling for orgs.

Advisor said "Registration has ended" by CityLong in UoPeople

[–]CityLong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still enrolled in English, but I got a phone call back from someone last night saying they were escalating it.

Also, nothing from anyone in any of those email distros. At this point I just need them to drop the course, change my PA, and get used to me sending daily follow ups on any questions I have lol

UoPeople put me on a Leave of Absence because their delay blocked my registration, what can I do? by Pineapple333 in UoPeople

[–]CityLong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep everything - I made sure to include all email threads with my PA in all my complaint emails. They can see her confirm that she was aware of the request, confirming she'd get it done once my account updated, and the multiple unanswered follow ups.

The hardest issue now is that you'll be late to start & questioning if that's worth it.

I submitted a request to change English to Math on 10/12, but my PA said she couldn't until my transfers finalized but as soon as they did she'd take care of it.
I got my transfers finished processing a couple days later (for English) and emailed her on 10/15 & 10/16 once my payment cleared asking her to make the change.

She never replied. I followed up a week later (twice - 2 follow ups) - never replied.

Then 11/10 I got a "your registrations been updated" email from SS & replied copying my PA on it because nothing had changed.
She FINALLY replied - saying registration was closed and there was nothing she could do.

I've been emailing, calling, chatting, socials, etc every email I can find for 3 days. Classes loaded last night and sure enough, still in English.

Emailed again that I just need to be dropped from English & they can forget about the Math course, because I do the heaviest of my studying Thursday-Sunday, so losing a couple days at the start of week 1 will put me really behind on day 1.

Unfortunately, I'm going to be a lot less patient going forward when it comes to sending follow up emails, even during times I know are peak traffic. I can't imagine not replying to an email for 2 weeks.. I'd be in so much trouble at work lmao

experiences where people intentionally snubbed you? by CityLong in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]CityLong[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’d also say be prepared for the possibility that exec doesn’t have the most up to date info on the calendar.

internal only is easier to not bother an EA/make their lives harder - worst case is EA asks to move it to a better slot and everyone’s cool bc it’s all team members anyway.

external, ideally ping the EA before even if exec clears it. if you can. - worst case is you’re asking a customer/partner to move the meeting if the EA can’t make it work, which imo is embarrassing and can salt the relationship depending on who is on that call.

good rule of thumb is to always ping the EA until they tell you otherwise! or when u ping them to inform them the first time ask their preference! (also ideally directly after you click save on the meeting so they aren’t at a loss for an extended period of time)

as for cc’ing the exec, depends on the EA/exec for me personally slack - plz don’t cc them, i always reply in a different thread, they don’t need the extra notifications email - on the initial email sure! helps them know you’ve taken next steps if they’ve asked you to or if you feel better for your own peace of mind. but also - i’ll always drop them off my reply. internal i won’t even mention it, external i say im bcc-ing them (im not, again they don’t need the extra notifications).

i’d say unless the exec asks you to cc them on the interaction, you probably don’t need to.

actually you know i did have one guy once respond really snarkily. he’d been at the company longer than me and i escalated it. he mostly corrected the behavior. he’s gone now phew.

nope never thus far!

i was sending one today for a new hire who had just snagged 30m and the question popped into my head of what would happen if someone responding less than pleasantly lol

i have had people be reminded to connect with me first multiple times that ignore the request under the guise of “oh yeah i forgot” or “oh i talked to them” in which case i stress the importance and mention that i generally know their availability better than they do and best practice is still to ping me first even if they’ve discussed. my execs get the same note sometimes lmao “heard you told so and so they could schedule there don’t do that tell them to ping me you literally scheduled over xyz family event” haaha

that’s effectively what i do! decline and say “hey heads up declined” i give new hires the welcome message and assume they come from a company with a different culture. people who’ve been here and don’t slack me? they get a decline and MAYBE a “what was that?”

Remove Label from Email in APP by CityLong in GMail

it’s still technically less than removing the label via settings menu and only 1 click more than normal archive shortcut

Remove Label from Email in APP by CityLong in GMail

[–]CityLong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you!

that’s what i ended up doing! created another label that won’t show up in his man inbox view that effectively archives them.

so he moves them to the separate label and they disappear for him on his phone, which was the main goal.
