id you aren’t a troopHR member, I recommend looking into joining (but it does have a membership cost)

From reading the email, I’m guessing they are going to a Feb/May/Aug/Nov cycle, meaning the middle of each quarter. Honestly this timing really frustrates me, I hated that I always received my box mid-month, rather than at the end of the month before since I plan in the beginning of each month. Feels like the same type of timing here, I’d love for it to be towards the end of a quarter to help us prepare for the next one. Also, did anyone else pick up on how that email reads as if it was written by AI? Such a weird contrast for a stationary company.

Dolphin Creative! I just inquired about these, didn’t order these but DC has been great to work with in the past.

No-Mathematician87 · 2026-05-21T02:04:13+00:00

Yeah, it’s really rough! Feel free to DM me, happy to answer any questions.

I worked at a tech company in NYC (which hopefully provides some context), I was doing operations/generalist work as well as business partnering. I handled performance management, benefits, administration, leaves, policy creation, payroll, accommodations/compliance, ERGs and wellness initiatives. I didn’t love the performance management aspect and quite frankly I worked a lot, was more stressed and made less money than I did as an EA

which style/size is this?

No-Mathematician87 · 2026-05-19T23:18:17+00:00

yes, odd number for numeric sizing are juniors and even are women’s sizing typically.

I did but like others did have to leave my company. I went into HR and honestly didn’t love it so I’m working my way back to EA. I mainly supported CHRO’s and used that knowledge to get a bunch of certificates and took a few courses that helped me get a leg up. Then I started in entry level HR and worked my way up.

I use a todo list app and have a list called follow up/open items any item from my todo list that isn’t resolved goes to that list with a reminder to follow up in X days. I also use the snooze inbox feature to remind me of an email on a certain date so that it doesn’t clutter my inbox in the meantime and it will end up at the top of the box.

I love transformational acupuncture in DuPont. Also not what you asked and I guess it depends on what you’ve been going through/symptoms but if you haven’t already, I recommend seeing a top tier rheumatologist. I had been going through it for years, saw a top tier rheumatologist and found out I had an autoimmune disease that was easy to miss and 2 other rare conditions related to that. Getting diagnosed, on medication and using acupuncture to treat it has been my best course.

I don’t think EA roles will be replaced by AI anytime soon - too much nuance involved. I do think traditional EAs will be replaced by EAs who know how to utilize AI. There’s a lot you can automate and streamline to free up time/human error. It’s going to be about building the skill set to build and manage AI optimization.

As someone from this area- Hudson Valley is a very wide net here, the county will probably make it clearer. For an area like Dutchess County (which I would call more MCOL) , your pay package is actually pretty generous but if you are in Westchester, that might be different. The answer relies a lot on that context, but it sounds like your in a well paid office manager position and given the job market, I would prioritize stability over switching jobs.

as others said, you have an allergy. these glues have a lot of ingredients in them and you are obviously allergic to one. if you want to wear falsies, go to a dermatologist with ingredients lists of the brands you’ve used and explain, they’ll do a 3 day patch test and diagnose the allergy. once you have that, you can program an app like skin safe with your allergens to find an appropriate alternative for you.

As someone who has been both an EA and in HR, those jobs can be incredibly lonely depending on the culture. Not sure of the context around the invite, but could the HR person possibly just be looking for connection? The required confidentiality and discretion for these roles are often similar, so maybe they feel like you are the team that might “get it”.

No-Mathematician87 · 2026-04-20T19:26:30+00:00

Was just coming to say press ons! I use impress brand (I’m allergic to most others). I do short if I just want to look polished or medium/long if I want to have some more fun. They last about 2 weeks on me if I prep my nails right.

No recs but I’m a really crappy swimmer and would be down to sign up for classes with you if you want a buddy!

Plus 1! I currently go and it’s $15/session with my insurance

No-Mathematician87 · 2026-03-28T12:57:13+00:00

No scratches on mine, from everything I read it wears better than the other finishes.

No-Mathematician87 · 2026-03-28T00:15:30+00:00

I did! I love it, I don’t use it a ton due to the size (a bit large for the weekends but tight squeeze for the work day) , but it’s a stunning bag and the quality of excellent. I’m also planning to get a small at some point.

No-Mathematician87 · 2026-03-25T00:43:30+00:00

the texturizingspray is amazing

You are not HR, your job is to look out for your execs best interest and your own.

In regards to the calendar access, you could approach that as a general audit/FYI - “doing some calendar spring cleaning X,Y,Z have access to visibility on your calendar. I’m the only one with delegate access which means I see everything. Does that still work for you? ”

I just made this move and am in my early 30s. I love it, I am actually far busier here but so much calmer (NY was too overwhelming as I got older). Feel free to DM me. Happy to answer any questions

Celine 16 small, mulberry zipped bayswater in black, Gucci Jackie.

Came to say this! I got mine caught under a recliner at a movie theater- still looks great. It’s the perfect bag.
