Do you take offense to people referring to you as their admin or the admin? It feels kind of like I'm a lower tier than an employee the way my boss says it. Also I have a name?

As long as they refer to me as my name (who is my Admin) or my Admin X.

I agree, we have names and they should be used.

It is a little demeaning, but it could be worse. I once worked for a VP who referred to every Admin in the company as "Mary Lou"....example: "I'll have my Mary Lou call your Mary Lou and set something up." I finally started telling him he should ask Mary Lou to take care of it whenever he needed something done! LOL

That is so utterly disgusting! I'm so sorry you had that happen to you

My only concern is the hiring manager. I talked to someone in my network who has worked with him in the past and she told me that she would 100% work with him again bc she learned a lot, but that he has a very dominant personality and that some ppl can butt heads with him.
