The teams I support organized a surprise breakfast for me. They called it operation "bubble gum" 😆. Between the flowers, cards, and gift cards, I am truly humbled.
This was the Best Admin Professional's Ever!

I AM GRATEFUL & BLESSED TO WORK WITH THIS AWESOME GROUP AND GREAT BOSS!!!

I’m so happy for you…that’s amazing! Well done to your awesome group and great boss!

I was just laughing about this. Of all the emails and e-cards that I have received today are ALL from other admins. So far, nothing from management. Sad

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I got a few thank you’s. Do I feel appreciated? Not really.

😞…

I got a few emails, 2 were from execs I support, 5 were from people I've indirectly helped out. One exec though gave me $200 and I was floored. No exec at my company has given me a gift my entire time there so I wasn't expecting it.

I love this for you…

My admin day wasn't bad, but also I felt invisible. How is that possible? The EA of my group seemed to overshadow me, even though she wasn't even in the office. Why did she overshadow me? Because of who she supports. I pick up her slack for a couple of the directors she supports, I support 3 directors and I'm in charge of our monthly team lunch that asks for a host, a treat brought in and an activity for the team. We usually play some sort of game. I am in charge of the room set up, tear down, and the cleaning. I have to be sure I book the room months in advance. I purchase for team members that she should be purchasing for ... she doesn't know how to really work SharePoint, so I do it. Her and the chief of staff don't understand how to use Teams and the breakout rooms plus the nuances that come along with it. I wrote them all the things they should be prepared for. The ENTIRE team prefers to ask me for my help because I'm not rude to them. She is always behind. Always. She literally brags about having a backlog of 200 emails in her inbox. That's not a brag...that's a fail. She received all the "glory." It was like I didn't exist. She's the worst "leader" I've ever had in my entire life. I do all these extra projects on top of my regular work, cover other admins, and i.still feel invisible. It's so stupid. I wish I didn't care.

I understand your situation. Have you considered a recruiter or search firm to see if they can connect your skill with companies that have open searches? May be worth searching other bowls here and posting the question or asking for direction.

Your firm can teach other firms a thing or two. I hope you were happy with your gift choice and dinner.

YAYYYYY. Hope everyone felt appreciated and celebrated today. I feel like my job did a good job of showing that they appreciate us and I felt really valued which was really nice.

Looking for another remote position

How do you manage your money?

I only bring in a little over $2,600 a month. After paying all my expenses, I get to put away $500 a month in savings but don’t have much wiggle room for anything else, including going out money.

I’m very privileged to have a significant inheritance and zero debt of any kind. I really wonder how my peers who have student loans, car payments, and even children manage to pay their bills and live so comfortably. Please share if this is you!
