Paul S. Henderson, Realtor, Broker, Tacoma Washington looks like a simple case of 'unhappy' employee (or assistant!).

She should know two rules --- 1. Boss is right and 2. Refer to Rule#1.

(I am taking side of the boss - as there will be some reason for not returning the calls.)

that personal assistant should be dismissed and the agent is not paying attention to her "support" people.....

 Good morning Paul.  IMHO, that PA should be asked to find their happiness elsewhere.

Good morning Paul. She most likely won't be there too much longer, either look for a different job or get fired.

Lots of interesting comments here Paul.  We hear interesting tid bits from more than just someone answering the phones.  Need be taken with a grain of salt and recognizing who is doing the talking.  Mark

Can't say I have and that would be very disturbing. I would have to question why that assistant was still there is she was so unhappy.

No, but I can see very easily how it happens. Obviously, this person doesn't feel appreciated. 

Most of the agents here on big teams have everyone sign a no discussion clause.

I have never been to a closing where there sat a personal assistant. Usually, the prime agent wants to 'play the piano'!

Paul - When I was in the business world, working a 9 to 5, I used to hear complaints all the time from assistants, or employees towards their bosses. It was pretty normal. Employees felt their boss dictated things that they felt were inconsistent, unethical, unprofessional, or that they just didn't want to do, and many certainly felt unappreciated.

I am always shocked when I hear people destroying the reputation of their employer. 

Many job applicants seem to think this is a wise move, that is until I show them to the door.

Sort of during an inspection a sale when the assistant shows up to let us in and tells us what most agents already know, how they are a shield for the agent and how bad it is to work there. It was not new news as they havent returned calls for years
