Hint: they don’t want a PA, they want a slave
Tell me you’re in America without saying you’re in America
Some white lotus shit there.
that person sounds like an insufferable “i’m entitled to the world and everything in it” manbaby narcissist. no amount of money is worth having zero time away from work and destroying your mental health. fuck that
I donno. For a million dollars Id easily work 7 days a week for a year and then chill for 20 years.
The issue there is you’d never get paid that kinda money.
Even at 200k I don’t think that’s worth it.
Deal.
Your assignment in the Union Carbide operated Hawks Nest tunnel begins in the morning.
This shit is bananas. I’m being told to “have a great break” and “hope you enjoy your free time” passive aggressively, for taking a day off to go to the doctor while working in a team super top-heavy with managers. Just commenting to back you up - this shit is bananas.
There’s better places out there my guy. Fuck em, they don’t care about you, make every job a gap filler until you find someone you’re happy to work for
“I’m being evaluated for terminal cancer. I’m gonna have a great time.”
No is a full sentence.
Do you make crazy good forever life changing money to be working such fucked up hours?
I’m 26 and he pays me 6 figures + bonuses + overtime. But it’s basically a on the clock 7 days a week job.
Assuming you’re from the US:
Start saving for those juicy medical bills because that is how you get those juicy medical bills.
Back at a time when I naively worked 80+ hours every week, I had a doctor lecture me about slowing down saying, “if you want to have a heart attack at 50, keep doing what you’re doing.”
Naturally, I ignored that advice. What made me stop was the realization that my employer did not care about all the nights and weekends that I gave up for them. It was totally meaningless to them. Just as meaningless as OP’s nights and weekends are to their boss.
Sounds like Kellogg’s.
Guys sleep at the plant. They have showers and beds. They’ll spend a week there, rake in an ass load of overtime, and go home for a few hours a week. Rinse, repeat. To what end I have no idea, not like you can do that forever
Well shit that answers my question as well. I’d definitely set him straight on his “disappointing” because it doesn’t seem like he respects an agreement.
Good luck separating that man child from his money at least.
Seems like a good thing to milk for a bit then GTFO when you save enough to achieve some goal
I don’t know what’s your education level but at your age that sounds like a great deal to set yourself up. I hope you’re saving a ton with the aim to make investments and basically be able to have your life mostly solved monetarily from your 30s onward
Oof. I do not work weekends without time off in lieu. Good luck with the burnout when it hits.
I’d personally respond to their “disappointing” with “Quite the overstep there. Rude.”. Setting boundaries is important.
They should not expect you to give up your free time without asking. Are they your friend? Are they into you and wanting quality time together off the clock?
This level of childishness in a professional context is such a red flag.

Disappointing!
This isn’t a professional context, so 👍
Rich people basically think they can buy you. In a job like that you’re pretty much a slave, except that you can walk away.
Do you work for Russell Dunbar?

Do you mean baby sitter for adults? What the f* you need an assistant for camping?
When I got this job I didn’t quite know what a PA does. I quickly found out that it’s basically multiple jobs in one: companion, planner, housekeeper, etc. What the employer wants / needs whenever.
How do you like it?
I really hope they pay you well.

Disappointing
Com… companion? Blink twice if you’re being abused.
Who’s gonna set up the tent and put on a fire? That’s a job for peasants! /s
If you’re rich spoiled brat you need some minions to lord over.
I have a friend who works for an independently wealthy minor noble. The guy is getting his masters as an adult and has four people “helping” him. My friend had to fly to another city because the noble’s son was moving there, and they needed my friend to set up the cable and assemble furniture before the son got there.
Personlig assistent, in Sweden helps certain people with disability. Was confused reading this.
You could probably call it some kind of disability of executive functioning… Many people with disabilities manage fine without a personal assistant.
Yet another account created today to post some random feel sorry for me shit. The trend continues.
Maybe it’s genuine but… press X to doubt.
