[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've had overpaid, under qualified, heavy on the attitude personal assistants.

I like the parameters that PP laid out.  i.e.: you better be able to do what your resume says or your outta here.  It does not seem like an unreasonable stipulation at all.  You have to be careful not to hire someone  who resents your success, gossips, or tries to wedge anyone.  In short, they have to be professional at all times.

If they are smart, they will be reasonably pleasant and nice to the wife. Who do you think decides on raises, promotions, bonuses, etc.?  Few we have come across have actually "gotten" this.  To their detriment.

Flame all you want.  If you want the pay and flexibility, you gotta play by the rules.  We are reasonable if you are reasonable.  If you are a ITA, so are we.

Is it a family business OP?  By family, I mean you and DH - obviously no ILs!!!  :)

I agree.  Wives have a lot more power than people think.   I'm always reminded that Colin Powell's wife is the one who didn't want him to run for president.  I'm sure their were other reasons as well but I know she didn't want it.  And while Michelle has no official power? You'd be a fool to think Obama doesn't take her opinions under consideration.[/quote]
