[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This doesn’t surprise me. Good EAs are hard to come by.[/quote]

She took a month off 4 months after starting due to an ADHD diagnosis and COVID but then I saw her at a bar in Georgetown.

OK well you were at a bar in Georgetown too. [/quote]

Well, I was shocked to see her there as I was concerned about her not answering her calls with what she called “super bad case of COVID” and Instacarted some groceries and ordered food   for her that she requested from me due to her organization “freezing her pay’ due to the time off right after starting her job .

I will be honest here. I am upset  I am in an administrative capacity and don’t make nearly as much as her and that she knows I make less and always waits for me to pay  for things. [/quote]

Then this belongs in the relationship section, because you're mad at your friend for being a sh*tty friend and jealous that she makes more than you.

I was a nearly 6 figure EA in DC, and honestly, it's awful. You never really get any time off. Executives who have personal assistants almost always also have sh*tty boundaries, so you have to be available all the time. I wrapped my boss's kids' birthday presents. I got his car washed. One time I also had to go pick up the car where he left it in the far exurbs. If I wanted to take any time off, I almost had to make up a really extreme thing like "a super bad case of COVID" to take even one day off. When I disclosed my pregnancy to my boss, he "jokingly" said "You didn't ask my permission to get pregnant!"

It's not all Netflix and chill![/quote]
