Hi all, Am interested to know the culture amongst the EAs/admins. Is it cut throat, every man for themselves or we've got each other's backs? Assume teams are broken down by practice area, etc. Is it mostly a straight 9-5 for LEAs or is o/t often the norm? Any other deets someone can share would be greatly appreciated.
This is some funny shit...a few weeks ago my boss gave me some parking receipts from 2 years ago and also some from last year. No joke, from 2024 and early 2025. When I was reconciling his expense report at those times, I'd of course ask him for said receipts so that I could submit them and close out the report. Honestly, it was a 50/50 toss up if he had any receipt at all, let alone the ones for parking. For the times that he didn't have the parking receipt, he'd always, always give me this crazy spiel about how the ticket machine at the garage tends to malfunction and doesnt always spit out a receipt. I'd listen and think how wild that I never heard others who park there ever say that. As this was often his response, I developed a rapport with the garage mgr. So when boss said he didnt have the parking receipt I'd reach out to the mgr and get a payment printout based upon the last 4 of cc and date of charge. With that I could then submit the report. No biggie.
Now fast fwd to him dropping off this crazy stack of legit, original printed-out-by-the-machine parking receipts from 24/25. Im thinking WTF, is this guy stupid or what!? All I can focus on is: 1) dude, you do realize this confirms that you lied to me every one of those times, 2) WTF do you expect me to do with these old ass receipts for charges that I have already reconciled and 3) have you no shame?
Has anyone else experienced this level of stupidity from their exec?
