My maid and her ex boss
My maid has been with us since June. She was recommended by a friend and we felt happy to take her on. Since then we have had a few issues with her time keeping. Of ten she will come in for a couple of hours then disappear for 4 or 5. I didn't realise she was taking such long breaks as I was at work. Unfortunately due to illness I have been at home and realised what she is doing. I have had a few harsh words with her and explained if she is only going to work 3 hours a day it would be easier for me to just have an agency maid in. Anyway I have notice the last 2 weeks she is up to her old tricks. Today she said she was going for lunch at 11.30 and would finish the floors when she got back - my house guest was in her way. I thought this was fair. I popped out for a walk and when I came home I found a lady in a 4x4 parked in my driveway. I asked if she was waiting for me and she said no Cathy. So of course I asked why. She said they had arranged yesterday to go out for lunch today and that my maid had told her it was fine as long as she was back by 2.30. I was quite shocked and asked the lady exactly who she was. She explained she was the boss before last and they went out for lunch twice a month together. Now I think that is lovely but not in my time. My lady gets a 2 hour lunch break to take at a convenient time but I think 3 hours for lunch is wrong. I didn't want to make a fuss so just said ok. What would you don in my shoes? Also I know on other occasions my maid has been out with this ex boss and been drinking. Ok in her own time but not in my time again. Would you also feel miffed or am I just being overly sensitive?
