Best / worst administrative staff?
Happy Monday everyone,
Thought I might lighten the mood and ask about everyone's best or worst experiences with their administrative staff. I've spent most of my career in smaller firms, which has meant that the good admins are swiss army knives who prepare for meetings you don't even know you had yet, and the worst are overwhelmed by the bare minimum of details or respond to every request with a dramatic sigh and grumble that "it wasn't in the job description."
I work with one right now that's a headache and a half-- we don't have her book travel anymore because she can't not mess it up (it doesn't do me any good to have a hotel on the wrong day in a different city than where my meeting will be occurring). Spends half the day on the phone with her mouth-breathing college-age kids and can't find the time to get to the mailroom.
So whatcha got? There's got to be some depth to this well.
Two of my department's VPs went to Boston to try to close a big deal. They both got finished at the same time, so the admin booked both of them 4pm flights back to NY....on different airlines.
