MD & PA: photocopy, how ah?

MD = Managing Director
PA = Personal Assistant

Scene: Photocopy area (which is very near to my place)

PA is passing by ....

MD: "eh, eh, how do I make a photocopy? Like this ah?"
PA: "hmm, press this, then this"
MD: "OK"

Things come into my mind...
How much is the salary for the MD?
How much is the salary for the PA?

PA know anything in the office much better than MD
PA get 10 % (or 20%) of what MD getting?

Lesson learnt:
Salary benchmark 'rules'
- It is NOT about how much things you know
- It is about how much is the value (or put it simple, the $$) you can bring to the company

Simple & well known rules?
But some PA might feel it's very 'hurt' to them leh ...
maybe they will whisper in their mind: how come stupid like this can be the boss 无天理.....
