Sad Citizen,
I totally agree and understand how you feel. When the lazy and attitude maid still working with me, I find myself more stressful than my office work. Now she no longer work for me, I am more happier even though I need to do all the housework.
sad citizen:Told my current FDW if she continues to be lazy, calculative, display poor working attitude, showed black face when mistakes (purposely made) pointed out, I don't need her services.
I don't need a person living in my house, intentionally trying to drive my blood pressure up and find every chance to have lesser chores. She gets at least 8 hours rest each day, even though some tasks not completed.
Gave her many warnings.
Told her on 2 occassions, not happy to work for me, tell me frankly, don't make me angry on purpose, stop testing my endurance .... she weeped, hide in toilet, MIA when on errands (takes exceptionally long time) or simply showed me can't be bothered to carry out her services, the duties I've laid out clearly at her agency.
She was a transfer maid. Yes, she was punished with additional loan, who's fault? She felt not her fault, she's perfect! She thinks she's an excellent FDW but doesn't know why was kicked out from a super nice employer's house.
Told her sternly, if unhappy, just tell me and pay her agency 1 - 2 months salary for their services to find an employer who is not human aka will never get angry, means won't scold/no temper, no demands, no expectation and agree to let her lead a happy princess life on employer's expenses.
Why should employer bear the full loan? Didn't we paid high non-refundable agency fee, excluding insurance, etc to blood sucking agencies?
FDWs are poor thing, what about us? Who compensates us for what FDWs and agencies caused?
Why FDWs and their agencies didn't treat FDWs human, by not earning so much commission?
For employers who can afford higher salary or perks, their FDWs got to thank and work harder but how many will really appreciate such sympathetic employers ... FDWs? Unlikely. FDWs nowadays are mostly taking things for granted, thought they deserved perks without delivering a good job. We, as employee or citizens get rewards for efforts put in, FDWs think otherwise! Felt we owe them a living! We are defined as bad or demanding bosses when perks are not granted!
