I have rarely seen an admin assistant (or secretary as you call it) who isnt asked to handle personal things for their boss, esp if the boss is C-level.  Our admin plans our boss' kid's birthday parties for goodness sake.  Takes boss' shoes to the cobbler, etc.  It goes back to what your time is worth to the company.  If your time is worth thousands of dollars/hour, hundreds of dollars/hour, and you wish to ask someone else to do your dishes, I see nothing wrong with it.  Caveat: when that person is hired, it should be clear that they are doing personal and business-related functions.

And this is absolutely not how things work in higher ed institutions. And in a lot of other workplaces. (What is "C-level"??) For starters, nobody's time is worth thousands of dollars per hour in our world!! That's 2 million per year. The president of my institution probably makes around a quarter of that.[/quote]

C level = upper level executive.  CEO, CFO, CTO, CMO, CIO, etc. You can google those terms if you don't know what they stand for.  And 2 million is a normal salary for an experienced CEO with a public co. Many make more.[/quote]
