I am now retired but in the latter years of work all secretarial support disappeared as did most junior people. It meant I did everything from my “proper” job of negotiating very large contracts and deals to doing piddly contracts, filing and admin.
Not only was it inefficient for me but it restricted the conveyor belt of rising talent who traditionally were raised in-house. There was a lot more external recruitment and consultants in later years.
Most of us also worked from home latterly. Again not great for anyone trying to learn the ropes.
Having said all that, the few young people we had coming through were exceptionally bright and their skills on spreadsheets and the like put mine to shame.
Times change, us oldies just need to get used to it.
