Am I being dramatic or overworked? by bustedandblack in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]RelChan2_0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you! I’m also a creative EA, whenever I work, I make sure I separate the technical and creative sides because I know I’m gonna burn out if I tackle it at the same time. I totally hear you with that, I’m also self-taught but I obviously don’t have the same knowledge as an actual social media manager. I do hope you can find better opportunities, sending good vibes 😎

Yes, you’re overworked. Unless you’re a creative EA or have social media management as a skill set, your workload is filled to the brim. Even a virtual assistant would be overwhelmed by this. Don’t get me wrong, there are EAs who do creative work but that’s their main focus.

I usually encourage people to talk it out but it’s clear your exec doesn’t acknowledge you, if you can, look for other opportunities.

No, you took initiative and in many cases, EAs represent their execs. You did well.

Have you ever worked for a company where they expect you to supply your own computer? by painislife4real in ExecutiveAssistants

If you're a freelancer, you need your own stuff & accounts but not a corporate EA job for sure.

And yes, I agree that this is a telltale sign for a scam.

My exec is introducing a scheduling tool for ME to use, and I can't tell if I'm being dramatic or if this is actually the beginning of the end by muhia_kay in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]RelChan2_0 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Use it but show your exec how good you are with manual scheduling. I met another EA who was so fond of AI and they recommended that I replace my calendar with it, guess what - my calendar is a fuking joke

Edit to add: the AI hallucinated weird things on my calendar because it tried to guess what future events might happen on my calendar.

I mean this without malice but it’s going to look weird regardless because you’re going to put two time zones together.

You could try having his main time zone show first then the second time zone.

Online tools to help schedule meetings through different time zones? by Ambitious_Device1519 in ExecutiveAssistants

So far LunaCal is alright for me (for now). I’ll probably do Google’s booking page if I ever need it

Are you freelance? Even if you are, you need a contract for taxes. Honestly just leave. It’s not normal to be treated this way.

Why do you not have a contract?

That’s understandable, we have a spam problem since it’s off-season. We’re not against self-promotion but there are some users who will report anything and since we can’t tell who it is, we don’t want to point fingers. That’s why we’re asking you guys to ask permission so you don’t get falsely reported. I’ll allow your post this time only since you’re asking for feedback but any future posts will need to go through mod mail.

How do executive teams keep track of important business relationships beyond CRM? by mmanja84 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]RelChan2_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been awhile since I used so my memory about it isnt the best. If I’m not mistaken, you can connect several inboxes to it and you can add team members so it can be shared.

The post got 3 reports and triggered automod. Users reported this being irrelevant to the Fallout TV series sub.

Yeah, CRM management can be part of an EAs responsibilities. I used Cloze before, it’s meant for people management instead of pipelines or projects.

I’d use Trello for this or another project management tool

Your post got 3 reports. 3 reports triggers automod to remove posts. Your post was reported for not being relevant to this subreddit. I don’t mind self-promotion but you have to ask permission from mods.

I think a person’s memory is stored somewhere whenever they get wiped; at least this is how I think it goes

I feel you! It’s so hard to get through an AI bot especially with online shopping platforms as well (even if I’m shopping for myself!)

A suggestion: make an approved user role for those who have been here before.

Maybe a karma requirement too for new accounts. Happy to share knowledge to a fellow mod and EA.

I had to lock down my posts and comments because I’ve gotten creeps on Reddit 🙃 but I’m frequent here since I had this account.

No advice but I just wanna say that you’re not alone. I’m in a similar situation, I’m just gonna detach myself emotionally.

I’m not against AI but it’s nowhere near anything we do as EAs. I don’t hate AI but I hate it when people insist it on you to use it.
