By are you kidding me - 20/10/2014 04:53 - United States - Wichita

Today, I showed up to work and my boss was nowhere to be found. A phone call later, I find out he's in Dubai. Oh, and since I'm his personal assistant, I should be able to take care of matters until he gets back. I've only been his assistant for a week. FML

Maybe you could speak to his boss, if there is one? At least since you're new you'll probably be given a little slack. Good luck, OP! Just do your best and maybe if you do a good job you'll get a pay raise out of it, haha. ;)

Maybe though if OP does a good job taking care of things they'll get a promotion/raise

Less than an ideal start to your new job there, OP. Sucks to be you

Being appointed as a PA for an important person, I'm sure you're qualified enough and you have the required ability and skills to tackle all the problems. I'm sure you'll be fine, good luck for it!

If she's been there for a week, OP won't know the systems or processes of the company, so this is completely irresponsible of her boss, not least because he didn't tell her and give her contacts for help.

don't be afraid to make a decision based on what's right and your experience, and press hard now to find out who your subject matter experts are. Time to herd the cats!
