I made the mistake of helping my boss with a simple excel formula and now I'm getting pulled into weekly meetings to show her and other execs how to set up their reports. This better lead to a promotion lol.

Hold the Excel cards close if you do not want to be asked about it a ton! Sometimes being the resident expert on anything can be beneficial in getting your name out there and rubbing elbows with certain people. Here’s hoping it could lead to something better!

You request higher pay for been a excel consultant because once they learn they just teach to others

This is the way.

Yes, it should help their promotion

Funily enough at work rather than a dedicated software we use Excel for literally everything. So if you let them know you have a lick of sense about Excel you are the new on unit IT person. For discharges they don't have anything to tell us how many days they've been there. (Required at time of discharge.) So I made up a short Excel sheet for them. Interestingly due to it needing to be the difference of it i had to subtract the dates then multiply by negative 1. The other way would just show a random date. I also made them a pay rate calculator so they can guestimate what new saleries may be in the future or if it's worth going to a different position. (Different shifts different pay rates.) Just a lot of QoL sheets for them to use to make everyone's life easier.

I have one pro bono case that I kept when I left my firm to go in house. It’s a matter completely unrelated to my company and I have malpractice insurance through the nonprofit organization associated with the case. I’ve made clear to my client that I’m repping this client in my personal capacity. No one has asked me specifically about pro bono stuff at my company - if I know there’s no conflict of interest, is this something I should disclose? To whom should I disclose this?
