+1 but I also gave the same warning to my mother when she visited. She and our helper/maid IMMEDIATELY bonded like long lost friends and I had to pull m my mother aside and warn her again! However on the other hand, my helper is the only one willing to drag my mother around the endless malls she likes to visit.Hannieroo wrote:I make it very clear that talking about or commenting on how I run my home/family is not tolerated and no advances ever.
surprising such comments are on Facebook if revealing their identity.... Will be a good chance to get back to their employer I would've thought. But if it's anonymous venting, then not much different to this post here.ecureilx wrote:fyi, some gossips I saw on a facebook site supposedly promoting maid rights ... how irritation can get bad ... compared to yours .....
1) my employer is getting 1,000 $ as maid Allowance but he is only paying me 750 $ .. I know he pays levy but shouldn't the levy from his pocket and give me the full 1,000 ?
2) my employer doesn't like me eating in the same table when they have visitors ... it is demeaning ...
3) my employer rarely takes me out for dinner when they eat out. why they treat my like this?
4) my employer never takes me on holiday. isn't this bad?
5) when i told my employer that I don't have savings after 3 years here, because I send all the money to my family, she didn't seem interested. is this normal?
6) my employer is paying me 1,000 $. recently sir got a promotion but didn't increase my salary
.... bottom line, in today's connected world you never know what your maid is gossiping online .... either live with it or ask her to find another employer
as a matter of fact, a former nanny of our friend used to post stuff about the employers, so much so the friend decided terminating the maid was the only thing left to do,than to teach the maid about the perils of the net.Beeroclock wrote:
Privacy is a key issue for most maid employers upon bringing someone into your house, it is part of the trust equation and needs to be respected by both sides..
