I don't know why many people called online employees virtual. It undermines the employees and sometimes makes the employers to forget that these are real human beings they're dealing with and not just some soulless computer programs.

In computing, the word "virtual" means "abstracted or modeled by a software to look like the original thing". In other words, it's something that doesn't really exist in the real world but created using representational technologies in such a way that it can be accessed or stored using computers. Examples: virtual classroom, virtual tour, virtual library, virtual studio, virtual office, etc. Therefore, a virtual assistant should be something like Siri or Alexa.

An employer that calls you a virtual employee isn't likely to meet your workspace needs as a human being. If you're going to be considered when policies are made, it would be after all "real" factors have been considered.

@OP, I'm not referring to you o! You're only an individual looking for an assistant. I'm just speaking generally. So don't be offended.

thank you for this...that "virtual"term is not appropriate at all to be used to address a human not to talk of an employee...
