Yes, for a time. My Exec temporarily took over the work of someone based in another time zone so he split his calendar between us: I organised him until 4pm our time and the remaining 4 hours were hers. Sometimes we overlapped and we had to decide between us; she really seems to feel like she was stepping on my toes so it was so much easier to be gracious and work with her. I have no idea how I’d work with someone, say, as obnoxious as me lol

Yes I understand. I feel like I'm the step-sister from another marriage 🙈🤣

It's fine. As long as both EAs are in sync personality-wise, it's pretty easy.

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?

Need some feedback! So I was forced to move jobs about 6 months ago due to reorg and the new leader opting to bring their existing EA with them, without even meeting me. If stayed at the company but accepted an offer for a job outside of the department I was in. I’ve now been asked by a manager from my old department to apply for a job they’re opening that would be a 2 step promotion. She thought she got my managers permission to approach me (see comments)
