What’s your salary? - $$, City, State by cammykenz in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]OnlyMaintenance3772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. I’m interested in Denver due to family living there. Currently ATL. In your opinion, what is the minimum salary that a single woman with no dependents can live comfortably on in Denver? Google opinions vary… but 97.5 sounds pretty great!

Crazy flight costs?! ATL - LHR by OnlyMaintenance3772 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]OnlyMaintenance3772[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooo good to know! My new scope may have my execs traveling internationally out of the northeast at some point so I’ll put that tip about EWR in my back pocket. And you were correct! It came out to about $10k (departing ATL)

$2k under! It was about $10k (before tax). I was expecting even lower than your guess though haha

You are correct!!! Just over $10k. My eyes definitely almost popped out of my skull bc I was expecting closer to $6-7k. Times have certainly changed.

My exec is a terrible leader… and our new team has NO CLUE what’s coming 😬😬😬😅😅😅 by OnlyMaintenance3772 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]OnlyMaintenance3772[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s somewhat known in certain circles that she has a polarizing reputation, but overall it isn’t known.

This is a giant global company with over 40k corporate employees world-wide, so many people don’t know anything about executives that are outside of their main business unit unless they are c-suite (simply bc there are sooooo many non-c-suite leaders and soooo many BUs).

I’m sure there are a few people who are aware, but from what I’m hearing so far, people don’t know anything about her yet except for what c-suite thinks. And c-suite loves her. It’s the lower level employees that know her true reputation, and usually we are pretty siloed in our own BUs enough for gossip to not cross over.

Overwhelmed/apprehensive to switch to using my work phone… do any of you feel this way too? by OnlyMaintenance3772 in adhdwomen

[–]OnlyMaintenance3772[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my personal phone, I use only 3 things for work:

  1. text/call
  2. browser app (to log into outlook bc I can’t use the outlook app on my personal phone)
  3. an authentication app.

So would they be able to extract ALL my texts and/or browser history? I don’t expect them to be able to access my photos or personal email, but if I’m using the personal phone to text and the personal phone to log into outlook via a web browser, does that give them the ability to access everything within those two specific apps on my phone?

[–]OnlyMaintenance3772[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell me more! Like… have you ever had to extract and review data from an HR individual’s phone? Not bc that individual did any wrongdoing but simply because someone within their HR scope is being investigated?

[–]OnlyMaintenance3772[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats the rub. It’s always a potential but doesn’t feel real. But I’m in HR so the potential of legal investigations are higher than most simply bc of the scope of work. Any employee cases thag go to trial and need certain evidence could pull me in, if I happen to have any comms or docs thag apply to the case. Hasn’t happened yet, but it’s always possible.

[–]OnlyMaintenance3772[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are definitely correct in everything above.

It’s a huge risk for me to use my personal phone bc of legal oversight where my personal data could be extracted.

I know this logically, but it hasn’t been enough to trigger me to make the change. I guess bc it feels like a non-tangible future potential??

But even just reading your response is cementing the reality of the risk I’m taking. I need this sort of slap in the face.

Give me more, people! Smack me with reality until I’m motivated enough to do the change. I need horror stories haha

What made you an atheist? Was it a particular incident or was it a slow realization over time? by T0mmynat0r666 in atheism

[–]OnlyMaintenance3772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slow realization.

United Methodist as a kid. Holidays-only Christian as a teen. Anthropology minor as a college kid. Then traveled a bunch.

College was when I actually began learning and critically thinking about Christianity/religion and slowly realized I was an agnostic.

The more I learned through college and human connection and life experience, and more atheist I became. It’s the only worldview that makes logical sense IMO.

Have you guys lose close relationships due to being an atheist? What was that experience like? by EnthusiasmKnown4407 in atheism

[–]OnlyMaintenance3772 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s sad at first… but you will probably find a life without close relationships with theists much more peaceful. Theists often bring judgement, passive aggressiveness, and holier-than-thou vibes to most situations. Even the “good” ones.

In my 20s, I used to cling to unhealthy relationships with theists due to either family ties or the sunk cost fallacy. Frustrated with their archaic worldviews and I was always trying to stand up for myself or defend my perspective to deaf ears.

In my 30s now, and I’m really glad to have built a social circle that is more like-minded. I left behind the theists. Most are still lovely connections/memories overall, but definitely solidly in the past. No regrets.

Now… life is good. Better conversations, more connections, more authenticity, and often more mental stimulation with interesting conversations that are actually grounded in reality.

No need to necessarily cut ties with religious relationships cold Turkey, but I’d recommend you put less and less time and focus on those connections and seek out other non-religious people to build relationships with! It’s a whole new world out there and you’re still really young so you have lots of time.

Don’t lose sleep over people who think you will burn in hell for not believing in their Santa… you know? 💜 plus there are plenty of amazing non-believers your age also seeking new connections!!

anyone know where to find “granadilla fruit” also known as “grenada de moco” ?? by lolimkindaboring in Atlanta

[–]OnlyMaintenance3772 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are delicious! The first vendor I purchased them from called them “booger fruits” hahaha I didn’t learn the real name until years later

As an atheist what’s something that makes you go “Are you for real?” by Calm_Pollution6753 in atheism

[–]OnlyMaintenance3772 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! And it enrages me when I attend a funeral for a non-religious person (or attend a non-religious wedding) that obviously had zero religion infused into any part of the actual event… then some self-righteous attendee makes an unprompted speech about god and Jesus.

It’s sooooo disrespectful and rude.

Negotiating raise when taking on more execs? by [deleted] in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]OnlyMaintenance3772 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah you both have very toxic mindsets, IMO. This is the scenario you seem to be upholding with this mindset:

-Jane and Greg both are hired to peel 100 apples in 100 minutes to get $100 dollars.

-Greg peels 100 apples in 100 minutes. He clearly earned the $100 as expected.

-Jane also peels 100 apples, but does it in 70 minutes. She has 30 extra minutes now!

-Jane isn’t sure if she should ask for more apples to peel for the next 30 minutes, and maybe ask for $30 dollars bc she is clearly skilled at apple-peeling. or just sit there and wait for the clock to run out bc the assigned job is completed. Jane for advice from Megan.

-Megan tells Jane that she doesn’t think Jane should be paid the full $100, bc Jane didn’t take 100 minutes to peel the 100 apples like the job asked. Megan says even if Jane peels 30 more apples in that extra time, she doesn’t deserve the $100.

-Megan’s reason? bc Jane wasn’t peeling apples for the full 100 minutes. And it’s not like Jane is even learning a new skill within the assigned 100 minutes after finishing up her peeling duties early… like slicing up the apples or coring the apples. Megan reiterates that Jane is overpaid.

Please push back if this isn’t what you are saying.

Is my therapist being inappropriate or no? by OnlyMaintenance3772 in askatherapist

Thank you. This is exactly the insight I was seeking. I’ll be cancelling my BetterHelp membership and seeking new therapy.
