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.

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?
