His assistants and secretaries were not picked for their WP skills.

There was a time when I was thinking of exclusively recruiting hot

them out for 65 @ hour.
IT client managers were suckers for that when times were "good."
The good times didn't last long enough to implement the plan.
Or maybe there just weren't enough hot babes.
Can't remember.

I only got to hire a "hot babe" once. I was working for a consortium of
organizations, and the office manager/personnel director insisted I hire
a secretary, even though I did not need one, did my own typing, and list
processing and maintenance was handled by an outside contractor. There
literally was nothing for a clerical assistant to do. But there were
other execs who needed the help, and they were not on the list for a
secretary. Go figure. Anyway, this was in my much younger days, so I
interviewed and simply hired the best looking young babe that applied.

She stayed for about eight months, then moved on to a job where the
employer was more appreciative of her skills. The only skills I ever
noted were how yummy she looked in a sweater and tight skirt. She did
get coffee.

Oink.
