most companies are too cheap to pay for secretaries

For example, in my ex position I should have had a secretary, she never showed up and they wanted me to use Microsoft Outlook Calendar instead to handle my affairs,

Very sad, I would have liked to come in, have a cup of coffee waiting for me along with my paper, read the paper, then sit back on my chair for a few minutes and tell her to hold all calls.

Instead I came into a shitload of work tickets, meetings at the most inconvenient times popping up in Outlook calendar, with no minute for even coffee let alone reading the paper.

Adjust for inflation, my salary would be 10x, with a secretary to keep it like the old days. Nowadays most people put up with abuse, Outlook hell, smart device pop ups annoying the hell of you, checking emails all times of every damn day of the week, very sick world. All to pay for a bowl of ramen and if lucky some hard boiled egg in the morning, those two will still cost you 1/2 a days salary.

Since 2009 crisis, financially, companies realized they could get by more with less, keep it that way, secretaries are such a damn pipe dream nowadays .
