The PA was almost certainly someone who didn’t have the skills or competency required to work for a skilled and competent Meghan, was bitter about being asked to step up or step out and wanted to get her revenge in the worst way possible.


OMG, the comments on the Meghan’s article. I just started reading.

So, let me get this straight, an experienced and vetted PA doesn’t have the skills and is clearly at fault, rather than Meghan, who never held a managerial job and there is no certainty that she actually knows how to manage staff. 

Managing people is a skill in itself, and most people are very bad at it. This is why there are very few good managers, Managing people is HARD.

On top of it, in case of Meghan,  there are significant cultural differences to account for. It takes years to  understand another culture and stop making unintentional faux pas. It took me 5 years to adjust to the American culture, and Americans are very accepting and  tolerant of foreigners, much more than Brits. Meghan never lived in Britain and it appears she is flying blind. She is in  desperate need of someone British, who she can rely on to help her to understand differences between British and American cultures, what is acceptable and what is not.

For example, while American think getting up at 4 AM to work out and getting to work by 7AM is a badge of honor, most Europeans think it is nuts. I tend to agree with Europeans. )))
