Blogger So Says I prints a letter from a friend who is appalled at the "piddly" salary being offered for an assistant position ("right arm to the president') in an entertainment firm, taking up the cause of the coffee-fetching, grievously-underpaid Hollywood peon class that makes this town run.

I just had to comment on your listing. It's not only completely ignorant and insulting to think that you can find someone with all of those qualifications for $10/hour, but is bad for the general state of the entertainment industry.

You honestly think that someone who acts as the right arm to the president of your company, creates perfect spreadsheets, deals with international clients, books all travel, helps with bookkeeping AND does most office manager duties is only worth that piddly salary?

Really, what's all the bitching about? The job in question pays you to be abused. Studio execs in this town shell out big bucks to the sex industry to get pissed on and beaten up.
