Continuous changing of reservations. Planes, hotels, dinners. Nothing annoys me more than the Sunday night call to change a flight. Costs the firm thousands which would be better served in my bonus.
Honestly, it depends on frequency, how much they respect me and how I am generally treated. If it's an amazing executive who sees me as an equal contributor, I'll do the occasional outside of work hour changes. If it's a shitty exec, I'll be creative about how I wiggle out of it. I def won't be doing that on a regular for someone who doesn't value me

This! Sometimes it like they think we come with a magic wand😂
It depends on how well I am treated and respected and valued by the executive. If they're shitty to me, I won't go out of my way to accommodate them. I'd definitely do it in a non-confrontational way, but yeah I won't be bending over backwards for someone who doesn't respect me
Hate answering phones unless my attorneys are on conference calls.
Sigh...I can't even imagine. I'm thankful I've never had to do this
