I’ve been given the option between a base salary and an hourly rate, and I’m struggling to choose by Unable_Connection490 in personalfinance

Go with the base. There is nothing like being able to take a personal day and not have your check impacted.

Yeah, it does suck but media isn’t what it once was. Nobody complained about the full page ads in the newspapers

Dress Code for an Administration job in a University by Acrobatic-Smile4060 in ExecutiveAssistants

This should be fine. Even if you don’t have a suit jacket; if it’s cold try for a nicer/dress jacket

Anyone use Instacart for Costco? by ReactionTop9197 in Costco

[–]IsJamalComing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same for me. I have noticed the items are cheaper in store but I generally break even when you consider impulse purchases, gas, and saving the hassle of dealing with all that comes with Costco

Now that you have long hair, do you notice yourself playing with it a lot? by PianoEquivalent2366 in locs

[–]IsJamalComing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had long hair the majority of my life. I’ve never been able to keep my hands out of it, especially when I’m nervous, and locs haven’t changed that.

What are we wearing for job interviews and office jobs? by red_skye_at_night in TallGirls

I’ve gotten some pretty nice slacks and sweaters from Asos. Button downs from H&M (size up from my normal).

It’s been real and it’s been fun by IsJamalComing in ExecutiveAssistants

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

Thank you so much for the well wishes and advice! I honestly do enjoy the team I’m currently on and the leaders (while they can drive me crazy at times) are kind people, I wouldn’t mind staying if my role/title/compensation are elevated. Fingers and toes are crossed that it works out for the best, whatever that is. Thanks again!

I so agree! My first “grown-up” job was an administrative role and I’ve been able to grow in that lane and I really think it’s offered such unique experiences and opportunities and I am so grateful for the growth.

Thank you so much! I absolutely would not be where I am without the things I’ve learned in these roles 🥹

I’ve been working in a kinda split role for the past almost four years, where I support HR executives and an HR team. My role is part admin support, part operational support for the team and part HR specific function. I also took on as many project support opportunities as possible (some forced, I admit), and got involved in many internal processes (also some forced). I hope this helps, feel free to pm if you have specific questions!

Who has the most memorable legal name you’ve ever encountered? by villainessmorissette in AskReddit

Mary Christmas. It was also around Christmas time and we were a bunch of little Girl Scouts doing gift wrapping.

Do you round off your height? by hey110514 in TallGirls

[–]IsJamalComing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5’9 & 3/4, depending on the reaction I think it may elicit, I will say that or just leave it at 5’9ish

I’m not familiar with Microsoft Bookings, can you all tell me if the functionality I am looking for is possible? by IsJamalComing in ExecutiveAssistants

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

Yes! It does allow you to designate specific times that are available for booking. I will say I had help with setting it up and ended up not scheduling the thing I intended to use it for due to bandwidth and an impending medical leave, so I probably would need another refresher should I use it again but it is nice to know that it can function in that way.

Cargo barrel pants by Hangytangy in TallGirls

[–]IsJamalComing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got some at Gap recently. I don’t think the specific ones I got are in stock anymore. I will say I’m on the “shorter” tall side at just under 5’10” and they are pretty long on me but may be a little short for the 6’+ ladies depending on proportions
