How do you all handle guilt-tripping from needy execs? I’ve been at my firm for three years and I finally booked a 10-day dream vacation to Japan for next month. My executive just realized the dates overlap with a minor quarterly board meeting and is now joking about how they won't survive without me there. I’ve already prepped all the materials and delegated my tasks, but the passive-aggressive comments are making me feel like a criminal.

How do you handle guilt tripping? You don’t. It’s not your job to handle how others feel/perceive a situation. You’ve probably work long and hard to afford the vacation you planned and paid for.
They will survive!
Sounds like you’ve laid all the groundwork for a successful quarterly board meeting. Rest easy knowing that they’re prepared and have what they need.
Enjoy the trip to Japan! It’s an amazing place!!

Japan is amazing, I hope you have the best of times. Hopefully they're just being tongue in cheek about it, but I'm not above guilting them right back. We are given PTO for a reason, and I will be using it at a time that benefits me, just as they would do the same for themselves.

I say, enjoy your trip! If things fall apart without you, then it’s a clear sign you’re not being paid enough.

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join.

It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?
