Blocking off an executive's calendar completely and still being slow to respond or uncommunicative. I understand it might be the execs preference but at least, respond to emails and follow up requests.
Some of them dont respect - or value your time. They dont come to the meeting on time or dont come at all and asking to schedule some other time. This happens especially their exec title higher than your exec. I have my own agenda, if you dont respect me, i dont go above and beyond to accommodate your request.
I totally understand this. While I understand that sometimes the needs/priorities of like a C-suite Executive will take preeminence, I know for a fact that there is a way that this can be done respectfully and professionally. I supported 2 C-suite Executive who had GM's and MD'S reporting into them and while sometimes their agendas had to be prioritized just based off of the business needs, I always ensured I didn't lord it over my fellow EA's and did all i could to also respect their own exec's priorities. And it was a move that really paid off as they became quite open to moving things around for me whenever I asked.
when they say " that time doesnt work" but doesnt offer other options so id have to ask...
Aright!😂 Like, do I need to ask for this!😂
My all time favorite while working at my last firm was having my partner send me an email stating the client didn't approve of the pre-cleared engagement letter. Said partner was requesting a 10% discount and reduce her hourly rate by $50. "Do what you need to do to see if this will get approved. " Typical "dump and go" -- Not only did I revise said engagement letter but going back to the clearance partners for a review of the amended engagement letter which they cleared. Send it back to said partner .... no thank you. And .... no Christmas gift either.
Replying to all to a meeting request e-mail regarding their execs availability.
This is usually either a sign of pettiness, a power play or a newbie😂
