No single human is capable of taking on all these responsibilities. One has to wonder what this CEO was thinking by making a job posting this elaborate, specific, and long while expecting to hire someone in the process. 

This lady seriously thought she could get away with hiring one executive assistant to handle project management, social media, general business operations, and personal support without raising any eyebrows. The best part is that despite her overly detailed descriptions that clearly prove she would be a micromanager of a boss, the one detail she managed to conveniently leave out was the pay. As one person in the comments suggested, she probably plans to pay this "executive assistant" less than $25 an hour for doing the work of at least 20 people. 

Keep scrolling below to see what people have to say about this CEO. For more stories like this, check out this post about an on-call employee who was reprimanded for not coming in when he wasn't supposed to do so.

    FowlTemptress. Holy , I used to be an EA to CEOs - they want a corporate EA who is also willing to take on cleaning/family work. No EA worth their salt would ever take this job - there's no way it can match the lucrative salary a senior EA can make. I would run so far away (fun fact: I interviewed to be Jeffrey Epstein's personal assistant in 2003; this looks almost as bad lol).
