Before the pandemic, executive assistant Yasmin Chung managed thousands of meetings right from her desk at the office, keeping a watchful eye on conference rooms, attendees and her bosses—one of whom was the ceremonial lord mayor of London. Today, her job is often virtual.
“Sometimes my boss sends a last-minute Slack message if a meeting is running over, but it depends on how easily he can message to tell me,” Chung said of her EA gig at Juro, the legal-contract platform where she now works. “It’s a bit harder to anticipate where people are. I do feel more tied to a screen.”
