      znzyzyzx:

      The plan was to give $1000 for each year of service, subject to a maximum cap. So by stealing about two hundreds, she missed out on a few thousand
      From the post above, znyzyzx stated that she would have given much more if not for the act of theft (she gave $2K eventually but her maid had worked for her for 6 yrs). So in her way, this is considered punishment already for the maid's indiscretion.

      It just goes to show that some employers are more tolerant and forgiving; others are stricter and no-nonsense. A few months back, I read of this woman who bequeathed a tidy sum of a few million bucks to her long serving maid in the ST.

      So extremely generous employers do exist. Let's not cast aspersion on others who do so. And as to what lesson is she teaching her children, to me it'll be to forgive is divine.

        You too have obviously not read the poster’s and other posters’ posts carefully. That is why you are reiterating and defending the same thing over and over again, aimlessly.


        It is very obvious that the poster has not clarified. You are right that you cannot answer as to why she has chosen not to clarify further, when she had the opportunity to do and let other posters judge what she she has to say?

        Isn’t it strange? What is there to be ‘witch hunted’ when one is able to clarify what you write sensibly.

        Please do not write in the guise of being understanding when your posts have been otherwise.

        Like the poster you too do not wish to engage in this meaningless discussion then why bother to come out and defend the poster when the poster could do so himself or herself? Why hide when clarifications would really help?

        Please bear in mind that these maid threads are for sharing, genuine ranting and discursive purposes. If there is any intention of bashing, perhaps you can start a new thread with that intention

        Also my 2 cents

          Precisely why many do not bother clarifying because they are being ‘judged’, when their intention is to share.


          And who are we to ‘judge’ anyway??? Are we ourselves guilt free of wrongdoings???

          She has written sensibly, you are not able to discern it.

            Back again? Can't make up your mind if this is a meaningless discussion?

            Are you not being judgmental here?

            And who are we to 'judge' anyway??? Are we ourselves guilt free of wrongdoings???

            Huh? What is the point that you are trying to make?

            She has written sensibly, you are not able to discern it.

            There you go again. Being judgmental!! Ha ha preaching that we should not judge and you are doing it

              Geez,


              Another vicious thread for me to back off from.

              Thanks Hard Truth, for the heads up.

                You puzzle me. You say it is a meaningless discussion and you keep coming back.

                Vicious? (Judgmental again) You and I do not know all the facts.

                It is good to discuss about facts. It is easier this way

                Try to let others do their own talking for themselves. Don't make a lot of assumptions why people do this or don't do this. They can speak for themselves if they wish to. You can take their point of view but allow them to come out and make their own clarifications instead of making assumptions that people do not like to be \"witch hunt\"..... etc. It does not contribute to the discussions

                Thanks Hard Truth, for the heads up.

                No need to thank me. Learn to walk your talk \"autumnbronze\"

                Perhaps we may have a more pleasant and meaningful exchange in the future if we focus on facts and who knows it may not turn our to be a \"vicious\" thread

                    Been following the thread too.

                    The message: It is all right to steal (after all it is only about two hundred dollars. You will still get your year end bonus. I will deduct your 'stealing\" from your year end bonus. I am wondering what will be deducted for forgery (if it is also only for two hundred dollars) or just taking the ATM card for a small withdrawal of only two hundred dollars etc etc

                    It has got nothing to do with generosity so let's not confuse STEALING with GENEROSITY.

                    Have you heard of any GENEROUS organization that condones stealing by rewarding their employees by deducting from the 13th month or bonus by the amount stolen?

                      My previous maid stole my sanitary pads. I exposed on her last day and did not pay a cent extra which was not my practice. Told her that I would not hesitate to be a witness if she continues her stealing habit from her new employers. Hope she turns around.


                      Now, this current maid wants to go dental checkup. Should I pay for her? Still thinking.... :roll:

                        The cost of doctors and medications gets a lot of attention but another sector of health care, namely dental care, is largely ignored. If your teeth are hurting and also you can barely eat without dealing with pain, it is time to go to the dentist. After waiting for so long, you may end up having to deal with some significant cavities and root canals. You may eve need a payday loan to help pay for all of your appointments. Make sure you go; it is worth it to be free of pain. Find out more at: https://personalmoneynetwork.com/.
