“How long do you have to pay your dues?” asked Alper at the event, noting that 47% of the 1,100 surveyed support staffers have been assistants for three or more years, while 21% have been assistants for more than five years. And over two-thirds — 67.17% of assistants — currently or previously have had to take on an additional job in order to survive.
“When PayUpHollywod came up I brought my boss the articles the day after,” said the assistant. “I tried to lay it out as L.A. is expensive, these are articles that tell exactly how much we should be making in order to survive and it’s hard for me to make rent….He proceeded to tell me how he would have gone about it and that I had asked for raise too soon. He basically put me in my place and told me I was ungrateful.
