I know some EAs work their way up to being Senior EAs, Chief’s of Staff, Scrum Masters, or Project Manager’s. All great careers and being an EA gives you so many transferable skills and it pairs nicely with all of the careers above when getting certifications etc.

Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

If you have an opposing view, why delete your comments? If you have your belief then stand up for them, but don’t be afraid to admit you’re wrong. What’s unraveling with the details around the Breonna Taylor case is what has been experienced many times over now, which is that police tampered with evidence for a different outcome. It’s time conservatives come to the table and admit this is wrong and they were wrong for defending bad police who abuse the system. Deleting your comments is telling.
