I work at a relatively small company but my boss insists on having an Executive Assistant to schedule his meetings, flights, etc.. and also order materials and such around the office.
But aside from company matters, my boss also has them scheduling doctors/dentist appointments, not only for himself but for his wife and children as well. He also has them ordering (and wrapping) presents for his kids and even booking venues for their birthdays. Basically anything involving his family, he has his assistant make the phone calls and do all of the research he could do himself.
Are these normal tasks for an Executive Assistant? I’m confused as to where the line is drawn. He preaches Work/Life balance but he can’t even do things for his own family.
Fyi: I’m not the Executive Assistant.
Edit: My boss is deranged and has a lot of issues. My company’s turnover rate is insanely high because of how he treats his employees, so I just wanted to know if those tasks were normal or just him not wanting to do things himself.
