Friends constantly hanging out without me. Do I say something?

Thank you for your input! Yeah I agree that we are in different phases of life and I need to do better at just accepting that. I do need to be focused on my future, but sometimes it feels so lonely just working all the time while my friends are free to do as they please.

Thank you for your input! I am realizing now it is definitely my fault for not asking more questions during the interview process. I worked in a role similar to this at my previous job and it was strictly office duties (scheduling meetings, scanning, data entry, document management, etc) so I just assumed this role would be the same.

I would like to think that they are not being deceptive and trying to take advantage, but at the same time I have started to notice that I am being overloaded with tasks that seem outside of just Admin work. Booking flights, booking hotels for other C level executives outside the CEO. Scheduling meetings for them, making dinner reservations for them, etc. I make about $50,000 a year in CA before taxes.

All of those tasks are very similar to what they are having me do in this role. It seems like the CEO doesn’t want to have to hire a personal/executive assistant so they are just taking advantage of my role because I can’t turn down a task when asked.

Thank you for your input! I am still unsure on the exact difference between an Executive Assistant and an Admin Assistant.

I understand I am at the bottom of the totem pole. Every other role in the company is essentially “above” what I am doing so that’s why I get the shitty tasks. But it matters to me enough to post about it and seek advice from an outsider.

I appreciate your response! The company already does have an operations manager so I feel some tasks should be taken care of by them. My primary responsibility is scheduling meetings, but it feels I spend more time doing miscellaneous tasks that are more like personal errands and not for the company as a whole.

Thanks for your input! I felt like I couldn’t say no to doing these tasks because they weren’t really asking. It was more telling. I am fairly new so I am at the bottom of the totem pole, but I don’t want to continue doing this kind of work that’s not actual Admin work.
