Read excerpt
Monday, 8:52amMy exec’s message arrives while I’m still taking my coat off.“Welcome back!! Can you pop in before the 10am? Nothing to worry about. It’s about Thursday.”I have been in the building for 37 minutes. I do not know which Thursday he’s talking about. I do not know what happened on it. I do know that “nothing to worry about” is the most worrying sentence in the English language, narrowly beating “quick question” and “have you got five minutes?” “Nothing to worry about” almost always mea
Meetings: The Broccoli of Work 🥦 (opens the original)

Hello and welcome to this Friday’s Admin Wrap. I had such a great time this week meeting with the Ascend Eight cohort of senior level EAs.

This week there’s some news coming out of the banking sector, where people are not happy about being forced back to the office. Also, I came acro
Big Fish, Small Pond (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nobody sends you a memo when it happens. There’s no meeting titled “Your Career Just Went Backwards.” Sometimes there’s a restructure that leaves you reporting to someone who was your peer eighteen months ago.
