My spicy take of the day:
Bring.
Back.
Administrative Assistants.
For fucks sake, have people in the office who are literally professionals in drafting and editing memos, scheduling meetings, figuring out travel, coordination with other folks, hell, making a good cup of coffee. It's IMPORTANT WORK!
In 2005 big company T***dyne fired all of the admins in the stupidest way possible. They didn't look at what they did and plan replacements.
Weeks later I'm hearing BEEP! BEEP! The admin near me had a fax machine, the number tied to Gov't contracts, and the machine was out of paper. I filled it and had hundreds of pages of contract info that had dead-lettered rather than go to project management.
