Currently I support 15 in-house attorneys where 10 years ago I supported 3. What type of structure do you have in your companies? Is it 1:1 and support all needs? Is it more siloed and based on tasks? One person does invoices, another collects signatures and scheduling? What ratios do you have? Vary the support based on title? I’m looking for ideas of what works as this is not sustainable.

I work in consulting and support ~10 execs ranging from level and responsibilities. Some I have to act as a project manager for and then others are administrative. It all depends on what their needs are and the relationship.

I'm also in consulting and at one point my highest amount was 25. But it's under 10 now. It does vary by level, where the lowest level people sometimes don't even talk to me for a year, which I'm okay with because that helps balance out the really needy ones. Basically it's a lot of expenses, travel, and scheduling only. I do have a couple of high level executives and they would love for me to do way more than I have time for. But they understand the situation, so it is fine. For those people I do go beyond those big three items, but it's not on a regular basis. Though, one of them is working on a plan to lower my staff count so I can do more for him. As he is in the C-suite it will likely happen, just probably at a snail's pace.

I technically serve the needs of everyone in our organization. I’m the only office assistant. But I only have to answer to the management team.

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first. She was fake friendly, but she was discrete too. Some of the executives thought she was amazing, but I had to clean up her work all the time. She wasn’t above me either on the chain of command. Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.
