My exec basically becomes a different person once they’re in the air. They’ll text me from the airport in a panic like, “Wait, what hotel am I at?” even though I’ve emailed everything three times. So now I send a master doc labeled “PRINT THIS” with every single detail in bold, just to preempt the travel chaos. Honestly, it’s saved us both more than once. What’s your go-to travel trick for keeping execs on track while they’re off the grid?

All the information goes on their calendar for me. Flights, car service, and anything basically timed goes in the time slot. Hotel details go on top for the full days of stay. It always includes name, address, phone number, confirmation number, and if it's for flights seat numbers. I have an executive that needs so much detail on his calendar, it goes as far as if he's traveling and there's a meeting, the 30 minutes to 1 hour before hand has a block with directions, address, if there's a security QR code to get in, and all that stuff included. If it's not on his calendar he's never going to figure it out and he will message me for it. By putting it on his calendar I have eliminated all of that.

Your boss sounds like a child. Thankfully, mine doesn't require that level of hand holding. I send him the details in an email and he can do what he'd like with that information.

Text message right before they leave with just the essentials. Flight time, hotel name, confirmation number. Beyond that it's on them.

LMAO what do Afro Latinos look like? I just asked a creative to include more pictures of Afro-Latinos in our hispanic messaging and she said "I tried to find pictures of videos that looked authentic but they didn't have the right look, it's a very specific look". So no black people in the ad cause this white passing lady needs to gate keep who looks latina enough. The blond, blue eyed women in the photos passed though... UGHH.

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?
