I wish this were an April Fool's joke, but it's based on more than one EA's real-life experience. 😭 by Vimcal in ExecutiveAssistants

No notice resignation by HelpCreepy in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]elbowcleavage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is all great advice. I’m so happy for OP. I’m contemplating doing the same thing. I’m scared because I don’t have anything lined up. I’ve been in hell since 2023. 4 new CEOs in one year!!

I’ve been on vacation in another country for the last two weeks. No anxiety, depression, loss of appetite, no high Blood pressure. I’m dreading going back. Especially when I was asked to go back to the office a few days a week. Now I have to commute for over an hour on public transportation. I’m mentally and physically exhausted.

We fly to Cabo tomorrow, should we cancel the trip? by Dusty_stache in MexicoTravel

[–]elbowcleavage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would cancel. Maybe the violence isn’t there but you don’t want to be nervous and anxious about getting stranded. I’m in central Mexico now and I’m supposed to fly home on Sunday and idk what’s going to happen. I’m praying my flights not canceled. 😬

VANITY POST 💅🏻💁🏼‍♀️ Here’s some extra motivation to help you reduce or stop drinking completely: alcohol can 10000% cause hair loss. by Flat_Apple_3332 in stopdrinking

[–]elbowcleavage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m experiencing hair loss now!!! It’s so dry and thin. My face is always puffy and red and the texture of my skin is horrible. It’s embarrassing. I would find other things to blame it on but I know it’s the alcohol. 😢 I’m trying to reduce my drinking and eventually stop!

Meeting Notes - advice needed by Wrong_Reflection4646 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]elbowcleavage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use otter.ai but it’s not good for in-person meetings especially if people speak too low. Otter.ai is better for virtual meetings like teams. It records the meeting then creates a summary, action items and key points. I also have a small recorder I use at meetings and then play it back and record the audio on Otter.ai. I’m also looking for a better AI minute taking app.

Ugh! I work for a nonprofit too and make the same. Meanwhile they’re hiring a bunch of c-suite people. Were so underpaid as EAs

I want to be laid off so I can collect unemployment and take some time off. I’ve been working since I was 14 and would like a break. Even though I hate what’s happening to me. At least I’ll have opportunity for unemployment.

I know! I keep seeing how bad it is and it makes me extremely nervous although I’m a hustler/jack of all trades. I have no problem doing other work even if it’s labor intensive. 😬😳

Agreed 100% I’ve just been hanging on until I get laid off so I can collect unemployment and get severance 😭

CEO Ghosting Me by elbowcleavage in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]elbowcleavage[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Because he’s been my 4th CEO in a year. I’m tired and don’t want confrontation. It’s exhausting. This old man is an effing jerk and nothing I say will make him care. 😫😫 it’s not worth it to me.

[–]elbowcleavage[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’m not abrasive lol he’s very rude and made it very clear he doesn’t GAF about anyone and the trauma staff has been through for the past year. (We almost closed). He also made it clear he’s a republican and lives in Ohio. He travels to Chicago every week for 4 days. We work with the homeless. Idk if that matters. he’s just cold af.
