I have been an administrator for about 10/years I have been in my present job for a year I have missed out in the annual rise because I have made a few mistakes. I have just found out that I'm dyslexic, I am sending out a lot of emails in this role, in my previous jobs I didn't need to email, which is why this has only come to light now I am using Grammarly which has help me, I think that with some of the money I have saved the company I have been victimized bue to my soellng.

Grammarly has been super helpful for me as well. Are you able to submit a request for a raise and highlight all the reasons why it would be deserved? I've been successful in the past doing that, especially when it comes to showcasing how I've saved the company money.

Chat GPT can help too. I am hard of hearing and I have to record meetings so I can go back and listen for action items.
I don’t tell anyone I am recording and thank goodness no one has ever said anything crazy while I have.. I could not function at my job without it.

I, too, have a hearing impairment. I am curious how you record your meetings. Do you use your phone? If so, what app?

Grammarly is the best.

Anybody else noticed recruiters are only proactively reaching out about hybrid/on-site roles nowadays?

It's almost as if people don't want to be in offices anymore so that's why it's difficult for them to fill those roles.
Sidenote: recruiters, you can see on my LI profile that I'm remote. In the "What jobs are you interested in" field you can see I'm only interested in remote roles.
So, why are you reaching out to me about jobs in a city 3 hours away that's 100% onsite and w/out even a ReLo?

How do you manage your money?

I only bring in a little over $2,600 a month. After paying all my expenses, I get to put away $500 a month in savings but don’t have much wiggle room for anything else, including going out money.

I’m very privileged to have a significant inheritance and zero debt of any kind. I really wonder how my peers who have student loans, car payments, and even children manage to pay their bills and live so comfortably. Please share if this is you!
