I worked in a marketing team supporting an SVP, and we had a temp who kept saying she wanted to meet upper management to “advance her life.” She even went to the CEO’s office uninvited. During a sales meeting, she was told she could grab food but not join—yet she sat in anyway. A director noticed, called her supervisor, and she was fired the same day. Ever met a temp that bold?

Has anyone been fired? How’d you bounce back? How did you approach it when applying for new jobs? I’m legitimately worried I’ll be fired and could use some advice.

Hello, after doing some research I believe I’m being underpaid. About 4 months ago HR did a market analysis for my role. They bumped my salary for about $2k. I’m a mid-level Executive assistant with 6 years of experience and currently supporting 5 executives at a fortune 50 company. One C level and 4 Vice Presidents. I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.

Bain is hiring for EA and MA roles in The US. If you’re serious about applying please reach out I’m happy to refer qualified candidates.

What are some of your tactics to avoid missed items and stay active and on top of everything through the Covid funk?
