What's everyone's favorite organisational tool? For me, it's good old Outlook Calendar and Microsoft Planner.
I tried to jump on the Trello, Asana bandwagon, but it just seemed exhausting. I plan to stick with what I'm used to but sometimes I worry about falling behind in technological relevance

I agree. The outlook calendar is super helpful but I also like to use the good old fashioned pen and paper technique. Haha

I use notion. It took a couple of attempts to get me disciplined enough to keep using it, but once I did, it was a game changer. It's also helpful that I can share specific boards with others. So, for example, right now, I'm planning an offsite even for one of my execs, and he can see where I'm at with what I haven't touched, what's in progress, what I'm waiting for responses on, amd what's complete. This 6 doesn't have to reach out if he's curious. I personally hate Microsoft's tasks. While the calendar is helpful for reminders, it doesn't keep me on task when it comes to following up on things, and it seems like too much work to constantly update it. I've been looking at Clickup to replace notion because I like it visually, but I haven't had the time to fully dive into it and stuck with what I know.

It’s very meh. Not too sure why it’s so popular but everyone has their preferences!!

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?

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.
