Hey everyone, I was wondering how Administrative Professionals Day was handled at your workplace yesterday? Here, it felt like it went completely unnoticed by leadership, except for a generic thank-you post from a kind colleague. Did your office do anything?

The actual company bought us lunch and we got to pick out a $50 gift card of our choice. This was of course organized by a senior member of the admin team. As far as executives acknowledging the day, let's just say I support 25 people currently I received gifts from teo, an email from two, and a team's message from one more. Crickets from the rest. I'm okay with that though, I'm always appreciative when anybody says something but it honestly doesn't matter to me either way. The executives that did reach out likely did so because they got an email from a higher up exec reminding them of the day, that was also written by an actual admin as well.

We had a catered lunch and played BINGO.

Not an email, card or any mention of administrative professional day at my job...this has happened for the last few years now. About 10 years ago we got gifts and all.

Nothing
Big, fat crickets...

My Business Office Manager whom I work directly for totally ignored it b/c she is a "penny pincher" and one would think the money comes out of her personal wallet. Since she is lazy, I handle all the financials for the company so I know that her department is allotted funds for such employee recognition days. I am the only Administrative Assistant in her department so no excuse. Then her BBF who works in another department in passing said to me "Now I know that xxx had to acknowledge you for "Administrative Assistant Day" for doing all her work for her. I smiled and said " no she did not b/c she is probably very busy". In the past when I had other Business Office Managers I would be acknowledge with very lavish floral arrangement, a gift card and a lunch to thank me for all I did for them to always help them look their best in front of the VP's. So no, nothing for the last 2 years with this penny pincher. #Unaprreciated & Disrespected

Happy Wednesday everyone. I'm so excited, I have a recruiter call scheduled with @Meta for Administrative Partner position. I've been in my current employer role for 19 years and I'm nervous as heck. I haven't had to do an interview in so long. Can someone please tell me what to expect with the recruiter call? I'm assuming it will be mostly about the role, my skills and background? Do they ask salary expectations? I have no idea what to say for the salary question. Feedback appreciated. Thanks
