My first AA job I overdid it and took on too much instead of setting boundaries so I was always working late or on weekends. If you find yourself working late a lot, I'd take a look at what you're doing and see if there is something you can talk to your manager or exec about letting go, or shuffling to someone else somehow. Like I was able to offload some tasks to the receptionist. Ideally, we shouldn't need to be working late with regular frequency.

I think working late is an indication that you're doing too much. And even if you're enjoying it, you're probably still getting overworked for what you're getting paid. I'd recommend trying to quanitfy your work and trying to get a raise, but also perhaps trying to set some boundaries to make it so you're not staying so late all the time. Even if you're enjoying it now, you'll likely experience burn out from it eventually

Your workload sounds more like an office manager or even a project coordinator. Admin roles can be all over the place, so if you’re managing it and enjoying it, that’s great.

Considering taking a position with a small-cap in the US trying to build their legal department. The title is standard “counsel” although the work would be with the senior leadership team and reporting to the GC in Europe. How reasonable is it to ask for a bump in title - Senior counsel or Head of Legal, US? If it matters, I am a 6th year and have been told that I will be expected to hire a junior or paralegal as we build up.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities.

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?
