People Are Roasting This Insane Personal Assistant Job Ad Posted By Famous LA Influencer
Have you ever had a job that you wholeheartedly hated? A job that absolutely sucked? Or maybe that’s how you feel about your current job? If your answer is yes, this article might have the potential to make you feel at least a tiny bit better.
Recently, a popular LA-based social media influencer with many followers on socials has listed a personal assistant job ad. And it’s absolutely ridiculously terrible. Many people are savagely roasting this job ad, some are concerned and some were left speechless. The listing has since been deleted, but luckily a user named TaylorLorenz saved it and has recently posted screenshots of this funny ad on Twitter.

Just take a look yourself
“A well known celebrity/influencer with 10+ million followers is seeking a well organized/available/diligent personal assistant to join her team,” the listing reads
If you want to become this influencer’s “part-time” personal assistant, you’re gonna have to do A LOT of things. Some of the fan’s favorite requirements include being on the property around 8 hours a day, cleaning, cooking, communicating with producer, videographer, editor, manager, stylists, cleaning services, and friends, being on call almost 24/7, keeping “all emotion/private life matters completely away from this world,” is expected “to be with the client all the time,” being able to handle hundreds of small tasks at once and many more.
“Actual work hours will be flexible, but generally expect to be with the client all the time”
Moreover, you’ll have to wake the client each day with a schedule, coffee, and other requests, constantly communicating with brands, managing their social media accounts, assist on video projects, schedule traveling, the list of unrealistic expectations goes on.
Also, you “MUST live 40-60 minutes away from Los Angeles,” must have a car and drive them anywhere at any time of the day, have to always stay calm, professional, and quiet, you’ll be allowed to have only a few days off and you must be able to travel internationally anytime.
And you’re gonna have to do all of this for $25-30 an hour.
People were confused to say the least
Some thought this whole thing was absolutely terrible
Some seemed quite concerned
Some were inspired to share their own experiences of working as personal assistants

I don't use the word 'influencer'. I call them 'influenza' since they are spreading.

Has anyone heard from Paula Skaggs lately? Did she get the job? Is she ok? Is she still alive??

Well she posted to social media about it and got retweeted (driven by fame?) so may not qualify?

You cannot put a price on a person's dignity. I can only imagine the daily abuse and humiliation this 'part time' employee will have to face.

Legally if you're on call 24 hours a day and not exempt, you should be paid hourly. At the stated rate of $25-30 per hour, x24 hours, (with 'minimal days off' - say 5), equals around $220-260,000 per year before tax. I'd do it. Somehow I don't think they're following CA labor laws here.

Have you read the tasks... I don’t think anyone can make it in 24 hrs. She needs at least 3 persons to do this job.

Someone needs to tell the "influencer" that slavery isn't legal in the US.

I'm not saying this isn't terrible, because it is, but it also doesn't seem all that strange or unusual. I've heard about personal assistants being treated like this before, and I doubt there's many people -whatever their profession - who can say that they've never had a boss who asked them to go beyond their job description for little or no extra pay. Again, not saying that's right, just that it isn't unusual.

I Have a friend who's a work assistant for someone who also has personal assistants with similar schedules, they are available 24/7 for the most ludicrous demands. They mostly also change every couple of years (there's usually more than 1 at any given moment since they do need to sleep and pee sometimes). Within the first year they also usually buy several cars, whole new designer wardrobe and an apartment in a city where people usually take a 30-year mortgage. So, yeah, people are happy to work, they just should get paid accordingly.
