I am manic busy but I have made my role more than an EA

That’s amazing! True inspiration of what we all should be doing any way we can.

I was laid off in April. I wish people would stop asking me if I’ve found a job yet. There are no jobs. I think the days of EA’s being needed are gone. I’m trying to think of a career shift and don’t know what else I could do.

like

Ouch, asking if you found a job is insensitive and/or obtuse. Jobs are difficult to come by with hiring freezes, etc. If you can, volunteer to keep busy and reach out to unemployment offices in the area (the more affluent the town, the better I think). They offer training, skill building and I think these can be managed on-line. It's easier said than done though, so be vigilant about self-care.

Hopefully we’ll be ok. They’ll need us for meetings etc, eventually

I am a virtual EA and I’m still worried they won’t need me-no travel = no expenses and only so many meetings I can schedule...and I cover 12 partners

Wish apps like BetterHelp were free. I can’t afford healthcare or therapy (I’m unemployed, and yes, I’ve tried seeking pro bono therapy options — no place anywhere nearby offers it.)

What sucks is everyone assumes this career hands you median wages on a platter but I’m worse off than I’ve ever been.

Anyone know of a good app/site that blocks your access to specific applications for a selected time?

Embarrassing to admit but I have a hard time putting my phone down and I’m sick of wasting my time. I’ve only found ones that allow you to block access to selected apps but it also allows you to end the blocking period whenever you’d like (thus not really helping my ADHD impulses).

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?
