I've watched only three episodes of Kell on Earth (a Bravo reality TV show chronicling the office drama at People's Revolution, a fashion PR agency) and yet I've witnessed the firing of two employees and one resignation. Meanwhile, Kell[y], Emily and Robyn −the agency's top dogs− have repeatedly complained about the incompetence of junior staffers, including the aforementioned workers.
Then, during Monday's episode it was revealed that Andrew S., Robyn's assistant, takes home just $15,000 a year. In New York City. (No wonder he resigned!)
I don't know how much the other junior staffers earn, but I'm guessing their salaries aren't much higher than Andrew S.'s. And if that's the case, it might explain why People's Revolution appears to go through employees like Lady Gaga goes through bodysuits.
It's a well-known fact that entry level jobs in fashion are ridiculously low-paying, but perhaps Kelly and Co. would find higher caliber candidates (like moi) if they offered more cash. The only people able to live on $15K are trust fund babies who might not be interested in putting forth their best efforts because, at the end of the day, they don't need their jobs.
