You call her many nasty names, and then turn around and call her a friend. You are fake and phony.

Sure "her" family told you to confront their daughter. Everything you say sounds just so believable...

I didn’t call her any nasty names.

If you knew our relationship, you would know why her family asked me. She didn’t have the greatest upbringing with family and suffered trauma which is my I pretty much always had a soft spot for her. No more. Telling my parents I use drugs is beyond.

I’m tired of playing case manager these days rather than friend

Is this how you'd want a friend talking about you behind your back?

She was frat girl good looking but now she’s cut her hair off and decided she’s a lesbian…I think she’s playing everyone here

I can’t shake the feeling she’s finessing this relationship with the boss and she’s playing games about her sexuality crisis for the money

Now, I don’t believe her one bit

she’s taking the crrunchy granola boss for a ride

I think she’s faking her sexuality, ADHD, and money Crisis

she’s a master manipulator who is using her boss the same way she’s used all of us

Do you think an ex friend informing your parents about drug abuse that didn’t exist is nice? Do you think an ex friend messaging your bf about cheating that also didn’t happen is nice? He was actually the one who saw her at the bar with a guy first. She ran from us.

What she said were lies. What I said isn’t.

I'm not the one calling her a "friend" while she does all this sh*t.

You are.

So you are finally admitting that she isn't a friend?

I am pretty sure the EA at my old hedge fund made more than me. And I made 200k.
She is blond, pretty and super polished though.

The EA at my non-profit employer definitely makes more than 200K. She supports the CEO who makes 4M per year.

No man will ever be as disgusting to women as other women.

That doesnt sound like someone talking about a friend? Is she your only "friend" and you don't want to be a loner or something?

You hold so much anger and resentment towards this person (and jealousy, even if you deny it, it's clear). You need to stop worrying about what she does, and stay in your own lane. If you wrote the cover letter that got her the job, write your own like that. If you have the contacts to get interviews, then use them for yourself.

Idk if you're being a martyr for the sake of your family or you're just a really miserable person, but you will be SO MUCH happier if you just let her go and stop sticking your nose into her business.

Apparently, I don’t hold enough anger as I still called her a friend and not ex best friend in the original message.

I didn’t stick my nose in her business and I am not a confrontational person whatsoever . Her family told me to confront her about the lies about long COVID and potential sexuality fraud and that’s when she went nuclear.

I should’ve listened to my bf and mom. They told me to stay out of it.

I would write a cover letter like that but as you can tell, being an assistant isn’t my passion. I hate the admin job I already have and can’t imagine doing this round the clock and for a permanent career. My passion is still grad school in my respective endeavor to be which is the only reason I’m an admin at the org I’m at.

Thanks so much for the judgment though. I definitely can learn about happiness from you.

So basically you don't want to do as much work as EAs but still get paid as much? Aren't you special

This was the case in the mid-2000s when a close friend was an exec asst to Wall Street banks in NYC. She'd also get an expensive purse every year from the MD she assisted, in addition to a bonus. Total comp cross $100K in her mid-20s. She had never graduated college, left her junior year from a state school in NJ.

Meanwhile, me (NYU grad) and my at-the-time GF (Harvard grad) were making less than our friend at our non-finance jobs out of college (me: $55K, ex: $75K).

I guess that kick-ass education still didn't give you the highly marketable skills you thought it would.

Being an EA was where I learned that if your career goals were just to make money that (GENERALLY) the advanced degree was not necessary.

She's had a very rough life since then. I wouldn't trade spots with her at all. I've since far out-earned her (HHI this year of nearly $600K). Tortoise vs. hare....

OP here. This seems to be the conclusion I’m getting to which is disappointing.

I just wonder what do EA’s continue to do in post EA life? Is that the ceiling? It seems to me it’s still a transient job since they’re still in high demand

What do EA’s do after? Project management?

Jealous? Maybe. If you knew a complete slacker was making so much money without a college degree, you’d be upset too.

Lazy? No.
