Salary.com surveyed a number of Executive/Administrative Assistants and asked what annoyed them about their bosses. Some of the comments will make you smile, some might incite PTSD.

1. Lack of Consistency in how they want work done.
2. Part-time babysitter! Yup, the boss brings the kids into work
3. Don’t take it out on me! The boss needs to vent at someone and, hey, who could be easier than  the ever present admin.
4. I need it now! This despite the fact that the boss has had the past week to get the task completed!
5. Double-check everything! Is there anything worse than a micro-manager?
6. Lack of appreciation. This is not just a comment related to Admins. In general, we do not complement our colleagues, workmates and family enough. See Micro-Goal #1 to a Great Workplace.

Administrative Professionals Week History.

“National Secretaries Week” was first held June 1–7 in 1952.

Key players in developing the concept of “Secretary” appreciation were Mary Barrett, President of National Secretaries Association, President of Dictaphone Corporation, C. King Woodbridge, and public relations account executives at Young & Rubicam, Harry F. Klemfuss and Daren Ball.

The week went through a number of iterations and since 2000 has been known as Administrative Professionals Week.
