She Scheduled His Meetings. She Didn't Know One Was About Her.

She had access to his calendar, his files, his contacts — everything. That was the job. The price of access was not noticing certain things. For six weeks, a recurring breakfast meeting appeared on his calendar with no attendees, no agenda, and no conference room she had confirmed being used. The actual meeting was happening six blocks away at a restaurant, with HR and an advisory partner, at seven in the morning, off her desk entirely. This episode of Workplace Entanglement follows an executive assistant piecing together, through the very access she was trusted with, the plan to end her role — and sitting with the specific tiredness of noticing everything in a job where noticing is the whole point. Workplace Entanglement is available wherever you listen to podcasts.
