I'm so confused lately. There's a vacancy in our company for an Executive Assistant to the Chairperson. Ms.M (our Chairperson) prefers someone from the office also. Some of the managers here especially our Admin Manager was bugging me to apply for the job. I'm quite hesitant because I saw how she treats her secretary, working till 8 or 9 in the evening, can't hardly go out for lunch and has to serve her drinks and all....sort of "Personal Alalay" but, the Admin Manager told me the EA position is quite different from the secretary because most of her duties involves powerpoint presentations and paperworks. Plus, you'll get to be the boss of all the "alalays"...sort of "mayordoma" here in the executive floor...and if you're lucky enough, you'll get promoted to Senior and even Asst. Manager position. I was tempted especially by the thought of promotion and getting rid of all the clerical work (which I hate most). However, I'll be studying this coming semester so I'm not sure I'll survive school if I'll be in a very demanding position. In the end, I decided to decline and prioritize my studies instead. Plus, I can't leave my boss. He's the best! He's like the coolest, most generous father I never had and I'm not sure that Ms. M and I would have that kind of chemistry if I started working for her. She's the most workaholic person I ever know while my current boss, just like me, is allergic to work...haha. Told you, he's the best!
