I work as the office/admin manager for a small accounting firm for past 4 years. Firm has client who has her own psych practice & my boss has asked me to take over entering her patient apts into her therapist software, apply the payments & send invoices monthly, run reports to let client know of balances. Boss hasnt offered me any $ for this work but bills the client hourly for it & i feel like im being sublet to this client as an admin, Am i out of line to feel this is wrong & bring it up?

Unfortunately I think this kind of thing is all too common in our line of work, but I do think you're being mistreated if this is adding to your workload which I'm sure is already really busy. I would try to bring it up as an opportunity to ask for a raise in general and maybe not make it all about this new responsibility. You could just use this new thing as a way of saying that you deserve a raise for all that you do

Similar things like this come up where I'm at, but assisting is thankfully always on a volunteer basis. I usually sign up because I'm either bored and can handle the increase, or overtime is approved, and I get some extra cash. They charge the client $350/hour for that work btw. I usually get a $25-50 gift card haha. One instance i did earn $5k in OT. At least I can turn it down, though.

I started a new job last monday; this is my first corporate job after college. My senior manager ( my manager’s manager) scheduled a 1:1 with me on Friday and she expects me to have questions.
What should ask? I'm already being trained by my peers, so I don't really understand the dynamic.

My company cut staff to 4 days/wk to save funds. I was getting requests from coworkers for docs needed urgently on our day off (fridays). I would oblige them. But then, I learned that those same coworkers had been put back to 5 days because they were deemed “essential“. I felt foolish and decided to stop working on fridays. One EVP (not the GC) in particular has been aggressively texting/calling me on fridays. How Do I tactfully respond? My out-of-office email is not enough of a hint...

What’s your take on working along side a team in marketing but barely any of your team enjoy the social present, let alone having actual social accounts.

Lesson learnt:

Never tell your colleagues where you are joining beforehand.
Not all are good advisors, some will ruin your mind with their opinions.
