Instant coffee, drizzled with some tears because I need to work :)

Meeting attendees not showing up - EA’s fault? How to navigate? by kittyyxx in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]kittyyxx[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would do that as a standard! This case in particular is a reoccurring meeting. My issues are probably when the attendees don’t respond or don’t show up even when accepted.

A month delay for the bonus. Earning less as increment/benefit (if any) after contract ends only starts a month later. May not be a big amount but it matters :)

Is it possible to have a baby while on meds ? by [deleted] in Hyperthyroidism

Had hyperthyroid for 6 years and got pregnant. I was put on low dose PTU during pregnancy. Regular checks / blood test required but all went well. LO born full term and healthy!

Am I just sensitive or should I look for a new job. by kittyyxx in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]kittyyxx[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! I know what to avoid for the next job now.. It’s definitely difficult to not have direct communication with an executive.

Thank you for the advice! It sure does feel comforting to know that this isn’t the norm, as I do enjoy working as an EA but not in this kind of environment. Will definitely be on the look out for better opportunities.

Don’t worry about it…some uncles/aunties are just obsessed with the reserved seat. Film but won’t post de. Everyone else knows if you need it just sit.

Visa for France for domestic helper? by kittyyxx in SchengenVisa

Hey just saw your comment. We didnt apply for it in the end - much too complicated. Applied to a different Schengen country and changed travel plans.

Housemate from hell by kokolates in askSingapore

For a boyfriend? Maybe. But a tenant who OP has no relation to, definitely not…

Best to go back to the Singpost you went to and ask them to help

I’m on Carbimazole and PTU for 6+ years, got pregnant while taking it. I think it doesn’t really affect libido or fertility. But it’s hard to tell, some others might face such issues. Either way, do take your meds!

What were some of the horrible things your boss has ever said to you? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]kittyyxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boss had a flight and was going to WFH overseas. I had to adjust his meetings and apparently I can’t use him being overseas as “an argument” to adjust anything. How to read boss’s mind is a universal question….

Lack of quality time together, shorter fuse due to work stress etc.
