can you all torelate if your maid did not greet you in the morning?

Not acceptable, it is basic courtesy to greet people you meet. Even a child knows this.

my maid has been with me for 3 years... she will greet me every morning until recently.... work performance drop. always on the phone. attitude all change. When i talk to her, she told me if i am not happy, send me back to agency.

Then please send her back. My maid said that to me many times, I am glad I really did send her back, but not to agent but straight to the airport.

Your maid is telling you in your face, loud and clear that she will behave and do what she feels like, if you are not happy, send her back to agency. She is not interested in working for you any more.

I would buy her an air ticket, on the day of departure, ask her to pack and send her home.

Doesn't bother me as it feels a bit formal. I expect my children to say \"good morning\" and to greet me when I come home but I'm not bothered about the maid. She's usually busy when I come out in the morning and when I come home anyway.

I dnt like to be greeted by maid in the morning cos my mornings are nevr good so I dnt want them to greet me goodmorning.
I did tell some of my past maids not to greet me but I prefer the maid to say goodnte.

I tell all my maids to greet good morning and good night, greet guests etc. I think it sets a good example for the kids.

My current Phil maid only greeted in the morning for one month plus. After that, she does not greet at all.... Except on her pay day.

I agree. It's time to send her back and take your chances with another maid even though it may be tiring to train and adapt to a new maid.

If you keep her and accommodate her, it'll probably get worse because she thinks she's indispensable.

thks for all ur feedback. tink you are right. is time to say goodbye to her. even though i hate to train new maid.


tink she is trying her luck to change to a new employer since the salary and off days are so attractive now.
