FACTS

[@immaturner1616]

No kidding but seriously, being a Secretary is a HARD JOB. U are required to act an office employee and a personal assistant all the time, meaning, u may have to perform jobs beyond ur job description and below ur standard as someone hu graduated w/ a degree (altering as a driver, a maid to the boss, office employee all in one)

[@melrehder7179]

Imma Turner hustle hard and collect ur coins sis 👏🏽

[@verachronosdottir2289]

For me the hardest was being decision maker/moderator in high level meeting when the boss isn't around

[@kimreafilomeno8688]

Indeed. True

[@jmpa6435]

Performing jobs beyond or below your job descriptio? Sounds like your hr needs to get fired or reorganized.

[@k.5425]

@@jmpa6435 I think it's normal in SK but I dunno. I'm just basing this of Kdrama boss-secretary trends and what I read of Quora. I've already watched What's wrong with Secretary Kim. The secret life of my secretary. And I just finished watching About Time yesterday. And I'm now watching Protect the Boss. And I realised that trend that being a secretary in Korea you have to be like at the boss's every whim as the OG comment said. Personal assistant, driver, maid, date to a function etc.... Even in the dramas that the secretaries(whether male or female) is not the main focus of the drama. I realised that's what happens. Like in About Time, you sometimes even have to be a secretary to your Boss' guest.(at least for a period if time) And it was also I think exaggerated for some comedic effect lol. (The relationship and comments between Lee Do San and Wo Jin got me laughing😂) And in About Time(I just finished watching that's why I'm referencing it so much) the secretary had a freaking law degree and was earning like a serious amount as a lawyer(but I think he got fired or something, they didn't really go into detail about his back story) yet the way he was at his boss's every whim and was like his personal assistant got me confused.
