I don't think a fully remote EA will be as effective as an hybrid/in-person EA. Especially if the executive is also hybrid/in-person.
Does your work condition (remote vs hybrid vs. in-person) mirror that of your executive? And if its different, how has the experience been?

I think a Remote/Hybrid EA/PA/AA would be just as effective as being in-person. With texting, video conferencing, phone calls, and email being at our literal fingertips, communication is readily available.

Cloud computing makes document sharing, scheduling, and project management accessible anywhere, as well. Not to mention services like DoorDash, TaskRabbit, and others can make deliveries and pickups super convenient.

That's absolutely true.

About 75% of the execs I work with don't even live in the same state as I do. Out of the few that do, I barely see them in person. While I prefer hybrid, especially for the ability to connect more with other members of the admin team, I could easily work fully remote and just come in as needed to help out with the rare in person meetings for those I support. The execs I have the best relationships are ones that don't even live in the same time zone. We've got open communication and dialogue. Between teams messages and calls, emails and texts, there's never been an issue.

I’ve worked fully remote for 4 years and honestly it depends on how effective you and your executive communicate and the relationship you have built with each other. Two of my execs live in my area but only one comes into the office regularly, the other comes in once a month and my third lives in California.

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?
