Being an EA changed me… sadly in a negative way

Hey, I have been an EA for six months. My first and last job, I am a data analyst then got into EA just to change my industry. 

This job made have another persona. It feels draining and sometimes I have self doubts on myself. Being an EA i always want to please my boss, the board members, and everyone. As someone cane from technical side.. the admin tasks made drain. Why does it feel it had to be perfect and if I have a mistake it’s like a simple and easy task that I am not capable with. 

In my last job, I just dont care how people thinks about me. As long as I do my job well I am okay. But here as an EA, even though I am doing the job I dont think it is the best I am doing.

Its been weeks I felt this and I have no one to share it so I am sharing it here.

I came from an MNC then currently employed sa small Fil-Chi conglomerate

I oversee the company's finances and hindi pa kumikita ang company. Pero grabe sila gumastos sa meeting meals ng mga executives. I understand na dapat sosyal and maganda pakain sa kanila.. Pero nakakshock na to the point isang meeting meal nila nearly 100k na nagagastos..

Shocking kasi knowing na wala pa income yung company, yet malaki na gastos sa meals nila. Then maririnig ko prinoproblema nila na kulang budget sa salary ng employees haha

Ganto rin ba sa ibang local companies?
