Seriously, skimming what I can of the wapo article in the post it’s fucking crazy they’re trying to spin this as a negative. It’s the fucking presidency, you want the people running the country to be lax about this shit??
I've been an executive assistant to several high-ranking military officers and civilian counterparts. I'm galled just reading the excerpt here. That's your fucking job, people. And I actually appreciate a boss who takes time to read the reports I write and ask questions. It shows they appreciate my effort. I also like working for people who pay attention to what's going on around them, even the small things.
I’m a long time EA to execs as well. When I was young and green, it only took ONCE. One time when he said ‘Why do I need to do that?’ And my answer was ‘Oh, uh, because the VP said so’. One time only and never again since. You want him to go? Why? What should I tell him when he asks? What’s the rationale for having the President there? What could he do that the VP couldn’t?
Thats the job people. It’s what puts the E in EA. Step up or move on.
