When I asked our OfficeManagement Portal Members recently what their biggest pain points were, health & safety came up. So back to the officemanager and their lack of love for this part of their role. The bit they don’t want to, but have to do. Personally, for me – I’ve always liked it.
But in January of this year, IBM reportedly issued an ultimatum to managers: move near an office for at least three days a week of in-person work or resign. The level of leadership required to manage people virtually-slash-nomadically is a lot for people and companies,” he notes. You’re going to bring people back to the office.”
Examples include people who have authority to negotiate and bind the company on important issues, provide consultation or expert advice to management, or are involved in planning long- or short-term business objectives. An officemanager title does not necessarily mean an employee has authority over processes or people.
In a serviced office, the service and support elements are still foundational, meaning you’ve got an on-site team that handles officemanagement. These suits are typically larger—in the thousands of square feet—and are ideal for teams of between 20 and 100 (or more) employees.
I’m still having some issues with New Ownership that are clear enough I don’t need to Ask A Manager about them (like HR trying to tell my boss I worked in a different state than I do – as though my boss wouldn’t know where I worked?)
Recently, the task of hiring interns for the office has fallen on me. I have been asked to review resumes, conduct interviews, and advise the officemanager about which candidates to send offers to. Is she legally allowed to do that? I was employed with a franchise McDonald’s in California.
I leave the office every day to jog during my lunch break. I am required by my office to take an hour lunch, at a designated time slot specified by the officemanager. I was in my jogging gear for 10 minutes in the office before I left the building. Like, legally? And it is an unpaid hour.
I recently left my job as a recruitment consultant on (what I thought were) very good terms with my employer. I got in touch with the officemanager at my old job. Regardless of the reason, is this behavior legal? It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. I can’t think of any other plausible reason for this.
Our boss is hanging terrible artwork in our new office space. I am the officemanager of a small, tight-knit consulting firm of 15 employees. We recently relocated our offices to a larger, more modern location. It’s four answers to four questions. Here we go…. I’m sorry. Changed my name, now changing it back.
I work for a very small consulting firm that mostly does strategic planning for the public sector. But given that he’s talking about a serious legal violation, just point that out: “We actually can’t do that — it’s illegal to reimburse campaign contributions, and there are big fines and even jail time for doing it.”
I am still employed, and while I serve on the leadership team and was consulted on how the process should be handled, the communication about the layoffs came from our executive director. I’m being called back to the office but I’m a single mom with no child care. But you can and should try.
