| Happy V - somehow I knew you would be on the helper's side. Yes I could've looked after the baby myself and washed her hand myself but my helper after a year working for me, still does not know how to fold the strollers so I had to fold the strollers myself. I DID not ask her to wash the baby's hand for me, I was gonna wash it myself after I had folded the strollers but she had already went in to wash it.
FYI, I did not raise my voice at her at all, and I know it was an accident that is why I didn't even scold her or anything. I didn't even blame her. I even consoled her when she was crying. The only thing I asked of her afterwards was to be more careful next time. Is that even wrong?! MAybe it is wrong in your eyes because from your previous posts, you seem to think all employers are bad and you are such an advocate for them that in your eyes, they can do no wrong. Only employers are to be blamed and that we should just look after our children ourself and do everything ourselve.
I am not going to fire her and believe me, I will give her one month notice if I were to fire her and I have a ticket for her to go back to HK (business class too by the way) AND a ticket back to Philippines. I only posted that question in the event that her attitude toward us is still bad, why should I still keep her for one month if she were to give me attitude throughout?! I will not fire her while we are in the US because in the supporting letter to the US consulate, she is supposed to arrive and depart the US with us.
Happy V, it seems you always like to post on the helper forum and blast the employers for doing anything wrong. We cannot be unsatisfied with their work, we cannot reprimand them for being careless. How do you know I am not grateful for the work my helpers do for me? I am not in anyway mistreating them or underpaying them.
And yes, I am aware that accidents happen to everyone. I never blamed her in my post if you read carefully, I am just posting about her attitude afterwards and the way she told me to release her if I was not satisfied with her work. You think it's understandable that her attitude afterwards was bad, if I had done something wrong at my work, I would NOT act that way in front of my boss. I would NOT even dare to throw a tantrum or give my boss attitude. I tolerated it and I didn't even say anything about it, I even consoled her and said it was an accident and that my husband was only worried because he was not here. What would you do if your work employee acted that way after she did something wrong, would you say that you couldn't done her job to prevent the mistake from happening and that you would be ok with her attitude?!  |
