Can I just say how demeaning this day is? At least it has evolved from Secretary's Day. Welcome to corporate America and a gender based glass ceiling.
Tom took us out for Administrative Assistant's day to his Brookhaven Capital City Country Club. It's a beautiful location, but I am NOT a country club girl. In fact I NEVER want to be one. It's just not who (or what) I am.
Despite the fact that we were "celebrating" administrative assistant's day, I was in wedding scoping mode. I had considered holding the reception in a club and Tom had mentioned a few times that he would sponsor the event. The venue was beautiful, but the room is too small for 100 guests, and despite the beautiful decor, it seems WAY too stuffy for me. Like one of those places where if you touched something you would get in trouble.
To me, this place just screams pretentiousness and "fake-ness" and I wouldn't want to ask my boss to sponsor my event. In fact, I'd pretty much rather do anything other than that.
I think this day was created so that bosses could feel better about themselves and the crappy way that they treat their employees on a daily basis.
And that's all I have to say about that!
