About a year ago I picked up a job as an EA with $18 the hour. I had no experience but over time my boss has made me pick up more work to deal with this company’s disorganization. I tried negotiating my $ but no.

I love being an EA but not here.

I am doing nothing related to my film degree in NYC. Ideally, I’d love to be a EA in the Tv/Media field, knowing I have a lot to give. Pains me.

Any advice as a Noob? I am really trying to balance making ends meet and a good work environment.

Any HR professionals here? I need to know:Just started a new role and I was in a virtual meeting for new hires discussing benefit questions with our HR reps. Someone asked a question regarding enrollment and the HR rep asked them for their name and pretty much shared that individual’s selections for the next year while we were all on the call. Isn’t that information confidential or at the very least,personal?

My agency is opening up applications for a DE&I Committee leader for the first time. This person will be responsible for overhauling how the agency approaches diversity, including employee training, internships, new business model and client communications. However, the role is a voluntary one-year term with no extra pay or incentive. There is no budget for this person to be trained themselves. How are your companies handling new diversity leadership? How should I voice my concern?
