Back to the office after a 4 day weekend.
My inbox is a mess😪 This is the downside of being completely off when I'm off. The amount of work that's piled up is insane!
Is there anyone's inbox or to-do list that sounds like mine, please come and share some encouragement!🙃

Yes. I went to VT in October for five days, out of the office for three. I don’t have email on my phone or vpn so I came back to 100 emails. It took hours to sort through. It was really nice getting away and focusing on the time with my daughter. It was much needed.

This is helpful. Doesn't make it less scary though. Cos I feel like I still have to sort through them all so as not to miss anything important

Hello all!🙂

I am an Admin/Executive Assistant with over 25yrs of experience. I have mostly worked for variet of employers, mostly non-profits during my career, (some government and corporations), but I am trying to get into the remote work force after being furloughed during the Pandemic, and mostly out of work for about a year! I am astounded it is so unexplicably difficult to find a position in 2024. Any advice on where to look and what salary range should I be asking for? Thank you.

Try creating a rule in your inbox to automatically filter out the invite notifications to a separate folder, that will remove a lot of the noise. You can turn it off after you’ve sorted thru everything else if you prefer the invites in your inbox. In my inbox, I have a rule that sorts all meeting responses to a folder, all declines to another folder, and any response that has comments stays in my inbox.
I have another rule for calendar invitations, they are sorted to another folder, but mostly bc I prefer to go through invites on the calendar versus my inbox.
