It mostly reads as "extreme" but fair enough for a very well paid PA with a company credit card until you get to the compensation. Then its idiotic.
This is a job description for 2 people making $100,000 each. Or one insane person who wants to make $200k.
These are things any able person does for themselves.
Ok lets just set aside that this particular job listing is bullshit.
Hypothetically if your rich and travel alot for work its not unreasonable that you might not have time to find a gym and a trainer yourself. Organising the meals isnt unreasonable, if by that you mean finding a chef, making sure the hotels menu is sufficient and so on.
The bed time one sounds like B.S but if you're the kind of person who gets caught up on projects and then realises its 3am, its not ridiculous either.
Like I said, Im pretty sure this listing is for an absolutely insane person. But at least it sets clear expectations.
Most of these can be solved by either setting an alarm or reading.
Nobody this helpless is staying up until 3 AM doing anything useful.
How many times do I have to qualify that I dont think this is someone who is legit?
Personal Assistants exist so that people who have the means (probably not this guy) dont have to do mundane shit like remember to set alarms and if they are willing to adequately compensate someone for that level of work (which this twit isnt) then go for it.
If I won the lottery, Id have a housekeeper and a lawn guy because although I now dont have anything better to do, I still dont want to do that shit.
If someone wants to offer me $200k a year to handle all his mundane shit and water his bonsai with EXACTLY 30ml of water every 2 days my response would be "Tap, filtered or demineralised?" not "why dont you do it your fucking self?"
housekeeper, lawn guy, bug guy, handyman. (basically a residence team for each of my properties as I might travel often). nutritional team, personal training team, and a traveling personal assistant.
doctors on retainer too.
what else am I missing?
Butt wiper
CEOs are a special breed of narcissist. They can't feel important unless they know someone else is essentially sacrificing his or her or their life for a self-important douchenozzle.
