In a bar in Sydney ~I was regaled on Friday night about a friend's personal assistant. Knowing him well I expected another story of boardroom table antics, but no. He blewout that the US multinational he works for in a cost cutting measure was retrenching his PA and offshoring her role to a shared PA in the Philippines. He said "how am I am supposed to get personal with someone I will never meet? let alone the hassle of communicating via email and instant chat vs. talking face to face."
It seems another western career option has bitten the dust, just add it to careers in IT, accounting, legal, medical analysis, and management.
