I've noticed a significant amount of EA positions with "dual" or "multiple" roles. The most recent one I came across is an EA who not only does all calendar and in-box management, expenses, event planning, travel (domestic AND international) with a hint of office operations. I can handle all of this for sure, but the additional duties were processing mortgage paperwork from start to finish. Companies need to stop doing this. Hire two people for two different roles please.

Mortgage paperwork?? That's not an EA role with extra duties, that's two completely separate jobs for the price of one. I've seen some wild job descriptions, but that's a new level. Talk about unreasonable expectations...

I basically work 4-5 peoples roles lol. Executive assistant to 4-8 at a time, and manage THREE offices. That are 2 hours away from my main one. It’s wild. And I get paid barely one person’s salary.

This is becoming the norm as EA duties are being replaced by Ai. The other unfortunate part is that there is no plan for transition of these roles or pay increase for the added duties/trainings needed to meet higher increased expectations.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
