we have a lot of people at our work tell HR that they are leaving becuase they are ill / have family problems. a lot of the time it is because they do not want to offend / admit they are leaving becuase they do not like the company or arent happy. therefore it may be that she told you the truth as she trusts you but told them this as the reason for leaving. just a suggestion

I can't do that ladies but it's a good suggestion - if she's ill I don't want to pass her my stomach lurgy to start with, and I don't feel the need to go that far (hope that doesn't sound harsh) - I'm glad I spoke with her on the phone and she did sound pleased to hear from me. Just having a funny five minutes I guess and in the bigger scheme of things - eg the horrific happenings in JLT - my silly emotions are a big fat nothing today aren't they! But thanks for responding. I've given her more than I can afford as a monetary gift as well at the moment (DH would go mental!) I need to re-read the book Women Who Think Too Much lol

I too think it would be good if you could go see her. Really sorry to hear you have been feeling down too and hope you will be feeling better and get things resolved how you would like them.

Why not go and see her, ask her what's wrong and if you want to (and are able to) help her in some way. You obviously have grown attached to her and care for her.

Our agency maid who's been with us weekly for two years is leaving. She'd told me she was leaving as she'd had enough - she's been here 5 years, but yesterday the agency rang me to say she is too sick to come today and is flying home tomorrow. I asked them is she leaving because she is sick - they said yes she's been sick for a while but didn't tell me what was wrong with her. I rang her today to thank her and say I've given a gift to the maids who are here today which is for her and her twins and asked her if she'd like AED or dollars, thanked her and wished her well. I've no idea what's wrong with her and I guess that's part of my upset - l had this idea of her going home to her twin 8 year olds and now all I can see is her going home extremely ill potentially! All these worse case scenarios are running round my mind. Plus she didn't sound great on the phone. I do feel kind of silly as it's got me all of an upset which I guess is also kind of linked to our circumstances too as DD has been ill for sometime and the maid has been here when I've been upset, and I'm also a bit rundown at the minute. But I just feel so upset about the whole thing yet know it's kind of silly too. Am going round in silly circles so will stop now. :( <em>edited by october on 27/09/2011</em>
