[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a small company? I don't understand the titling. The C suite reporting to the CEO at large companies are usually Chief XYZ....
Are you a glorified Cheif of Staff essentially? [/quote]

ditto. I assumed OP must be CTO or COO etc. Which is why I found it odd another C-suite would not know how to handle a situation like this. [/quote]

I'm not OP, but I don't understand why you thought that. OP ends the post by saying she wants to be an executive one day.[/quote]

Because the phrase “working in the C-suite” usually means working a C-level job, not working as a manager for people in the C-suite.  [/quote]

Assistant TO the regional manager :lol:

OP, you just started a few weeks ago. Your boss should have a check in with you any day to see how you are settling in. That would be a good time to bring it up. Like others suggested, I wouldn't wait until the first review cycle if it's more than a month away or it will cement your role as EA no matter what. You say that you are in the desk where the EA used to sit. Did she move? If so, ask for clarification if you should forward some of these tasks to her. You can frame it as getting a better idea about how best to delegate tasks. Also emphasize the things you thought you would be doing and tell CEO you want to spend more of your time doing those things like you discussed during the hiring process. That's more of a positive spin than saying "I don't want to do A, B, and C."
