Ask HN: Would you hire a private admin or exec assistant?

1 pointlistenlight2 comments

Can execs employ workers privately?

If I was making $300k+ annually and running out of hours in the day, I'd certainly offload admin tasks (responding to emails, booking appointments, minor errands, keeping track of schedules) to someone else.

One can dream!

In the old days, we shared admins between groups of employees.

(in my first intern summer [$15/hr IIRC?], I introduced myself on the 2nd day to the secretary, and she said "Oh, you're $FOO. I've been telling everyone you were in a meeting. Here are your messages.")
