How should one go about asking for a letter of rec—email or live Zoom call? I’m in a position where my first rec letter is really strong and someone I worked with for a while but the second one is someone I worked with for only 3 months (I’m a consultant and it’s the average case length). I am giving them 5 weeks to write it and don’t want to put them on the spot.

Zoom call

Depends on the relationship You have with the person. For me, I texted one, emailed another and linkedin messaged a third.

Idk email at least gives them time to think about it

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?
