Personal assistant with benefits
Posted: 2017-08-24 00:21:44
Some thoughts and advice please...
I need a new assistant that is first and foremost a good PA , professional, efficient and good looking - but.... I have always wondered about hiring someone that from the outset understands that there will be times where duties may extend beyond office tasks. There will be some local and some international travel for business so it's a sweet gig.
I know that the logical / rational thing to do would be to NOT mix business and pleasure but we are not rational or logical beings.
What are your thoughts on doing that and how would you suggest one goes about it??

The moment you mix the 2 you open yourself up to a whole lot of problems. Don't do it.

It's a no no. Trust me the start is very nice but the ending it's fatal if not deadly. Punting is de way.

Been there, done that, lost the fuken t-shirt and everything else. Don't do it, you will be sorry, punt, and then punt again.
