What do you do when half your office is gone between Christmas and New Year's? I'm stressed about covering everything that comes up.

If you're in on any of those days you can just cover what you can cover. Chances are things will be slow if people aren't around. If something comes up, just try to deal with it as best you can. No need to feel any extra stress over it, if people are gone they'll just have to deal with things when they return.

That shouldn't be on you at all. You have your responsibilities, but management choosing to be short staffed is on them, not you. Try not to stress yourself out too much. It's the holidays after all.

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?

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 Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing?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?
