I'm working, we don't take Good Friday off. I know some people who have it off, but I guess it depends on the traditions of the company. It's pretty slow though, so I'm catching up on various things. So it's a pleasant day even if I'm working.

You’re definitely not alone! I’m holding down the fort while half the team is off enjoying a long weekend. It’s quiet at least, so I'm getting a lot done.

We had a half day off. If it's not a federal holiday, we don't have off unless it's one of our random floating holidays but that's usually saved for new years eve, Christmas eve, and the day before or after July 4th depending on when it falls in the week.

I was working. I'm clearly a better multitasker than the person in the post though, because I had no problem finding time to both work AND be sad. Anyway, happy easter to those who celebrate!

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?

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
