BMT Office Administration

OCTOBER 10, 2022

Any co-worker checking social media notifications instead of reading employee emails qualifies as online procrastination. Examples include: Gossiping with co-workers. For instance, an employee may spend all day sorting and filing their emails instead of outlining and working on a project that has closely approaching due dates.

This leads to gossip and politics, often just below the surface of what looks like a happy and positive culture. Not to mention the very real cost of all that extra task-switching that’s already out of control in the modern office. Ask to be removed from the cc field on email threads. The Fighter’s challenge. Don’t look.

Practically Perfect PA

SEPTEMBER 5, 2012

I had a few jobs where I would write content for marketing material and I think doing this meant I could use some of my creative skills at work. But I do wonder how many of us actually take the time to develop our skills because we don’t think we are worth the cost to the employer. That inspires me to write this free blog!

Low and behold, there was an email waiting for me from Nancy with several samples of her work! Just like nail biting or gossip, whining is a bad habit - nothing more - and all bad habits can be broken. This keeps us fresh and our skills top notch. I was back in Nevada that same night – I got in around 6:45. So quit it.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

MARCH 22, 2013

I was so excited to see your email and as I read it, I thought it would eventually end on a high note. However, to shed some light on culture and the business world for any readers who are young, new to EA work, or going through the same thing, I want to address your email in its entirety. I will definitely answer your question.
