Cathy,

This article and in particular the picture stood out like a sore thumb.  It is not a true representation of the office today, that is why I am critical, I thought you would have understood that. 

Very few PA's (if any) sit outside a boss's office screening calls.  Most of the boss's in my company sit right beside their PA's (or opposite them) and answer their own phones.  We have an open door policy, so people are readily available and easy accessible to help, attend meetings or get things done.

Currently my boss does not sit near me and has no plans to given his current programme workload, so this article is not a true representation of a typical company or the people that work there.

So many of you talk about modern technology yet this article represents something from the dark ages that no longer exists in the form it did many years ago.  It's false.
