I felt something wrong with this post

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

If I were advertising for a PA and also required housework done I would advertise for two positions seperately. Trying to conflate these two dissimilar positions casts the guy in a very bad light IMO. Also if I were advertising for a PA, and requiring fairly advanced ability I would be asking for references and details of past experience. Pesonally I would not consider the position as it appears highly exploitative, and suspect, particularly with the added controls put on ones peronal life. It just appears to me like he his advertising for a highly qualified "rent wife".

The guy in the OP sounds like a creep, to say the least.

And what Kuroneko said.

Sir Potato ?
Lol; Has he been promoted ? Head-potato ? :lol:

However, OT, this ad was correctly identified as being "not quite right". The salary may be negociable according to experience, but umm no, you don't expect your PA to iron your shirts, do your cooking, washing and cleaning. (And do you need to specify the kingsize bed ? )

Agree with Kuroneko. This is not a serious position, this is rent-a maid/secretary/companion. It has exploitation written all over it.

I cannot see anything wrong with this add/post, cause it is very simular to the one I wanted to post,,, except I was going to advertise the monthly salary $150 and the extras available, like being able to sleep with the boss.

I think this job would be great if it were a sexy woman advertising. Can we get him to recuse himself or do an op in Bangkok at least?

All cats are grey in the dark.

Samouth, I think richard made you neurotic, keep calm and have a cup of tea.
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)
