Answer 1

You created to drama. Think of it this way, if your mother was dying and someone called your company when you are working so that you can talk to her for the last time and your boss told the caller that you were not there you even though you were, how would you feel? I think you made a big mistake and you should pay for it.

Answer 2

I think that your maid should be angry with you. If I were her I would give you your two months of pay back and never work for you again. You should have told her that her mother died. Put yourself in her shoes.Now this poor woman has to spend the rest of her life wondering what her mother's dying words would have been. And the fact that she never got the chance to say good bye to her. You really should be ashamed of yourself! I don't think that because you wanted your party to go great and the house to be cleaned and food cooked or that you wanted the house to be cleaned afterwards was any excuse not to tell this woman that her mother died. In my opinion and it's only an opinion , I think that you are a very selfish selfish inconsiderate person!!!

Answer 3

If this were a corporate job, she would be entitled to go ahead and take grievance leave. Her mother died for goodness sake! How would you feel if you found out your mother died and your boss made you do more work? That was awfully insensitive of you. If you have enough money to hire a maid to do these things for you, you have enough money to contact a cleaning service for the day or week to take care of things while she grieves. It was awful of you not to tell her. That's her mother. I can tell you right now heaven forbid anything should happen to my father (my mother passed when I was young) I would be grabbing my purse and heading out the door to attend to family matters and grieve. What you did was very selfish, just because you were having a party. If she was PMSing or something minor, it would be ok to insist she do her job. We sent home one of our artists last week because she got a call that morning that her best friend died. We would have never imagined making her stay to work, even though we were horribly understaffed. We made do with the resources we had and you could've too. You owe her a giant apology and you should try to make nice by offering to help make calls about the arrangements and such. She's been there for you and now you need to be there for her. And it's "fire" not "fyre" and you'd be even more evil if you did let her go over something like this.

Answer 4

Wait a second. Let me just make sure I've got this straight. You didn't tell your maid her mom was dying because you didn't want her to be distracted from cleaning your house and cooking for you????

You're selfish. Try thinking about other people for a change. You're stuck with the maid for another two months, I'm afraid, but don't worry, after that she'll probably quit on her own. I'd hate to have a boss like you!

Answer 5

First of all you shouldn't be a A$$ hole.You know what just happened to her have some consideration for her feelings.For god sake her mother just died put yourself in her shoes how would you feel if someone did that to you and didn't tell you until the next day your a major a$$ whole your so self absorbed in your own little world that you didn't even consider the women's feelings.Have you asked how she is feeling?You must be a very spoiled brat to only think of yourself.I understand that she work's for you but come on when something like this happens people need time.Have more consideration you arrogant heartless jack a$$

Answer 6

well well well, let me just say this first. You sound like a very selfish woman who can only think of herself! How would you feel if you were not told that your MOTHER died until a day later because your BOSS had other insignifgant plans for you? You could have given her the day off, you could have given her a plane ticket to try to go see her mother before she died. You could have been there to hold her when her tears fell because she lost her MOTHER! But instead, you chose to be selfish and keep it to yourself because you were having dinner guests. I bet if your guests knew what you did to her they probably would feel the same way I do. I damned sure wouldn't want you as my friend or employer if that is how you treat people. Do you have children? wouldn't you want to say goodbye to them if you had the chance. think about it. I would take a very long look in the mirror and at least try to console that poor lady. If it were me that you did that to, I would have punched you in the face and walked out your door taking your money with me becasue thats all it seems to be with you. MONEY!.

Answer 7

So what you are saying is your life is more important than her's. You must be part of the me, me, me generation. What you need to do is to pay for her to go home to her country so she can bury her mother. While you are doing that you need to beg for her forgiveness. She may or may not return after what you have done. Then get down on your knees and ask God to forgive you for your selfish ways. You could have also hired a cleaning crew for the day. That would have left you to do the cooking yourself. Or hired someone, or a company for that day.

Answer 8

Your the one being unreasonable what do you expect you stole those last few words that she could have told her mum that she loved her before she died.If you have ever lost your mum then you would understand her pain,anger & grief.You should feel guilty that you have caused all of this all because you were being selfish & only worried about yourself & no one elses feelings.I would walk out & leave if i was her & I certainly wouldn't be doing anything for someone that wouldn't even let me talk to my mother on her deathbed.
Wake up & get over it your the one that caused the drama????????? you are acting like a biatch

Answer 9

Cut your losses and get a new maid, no reason to keep someone on when they aren't doing the job, I mean you could Sue her for the money but really, Our justice system is full as it is, I would just cut your losses and find yourself someone who is more reliable...Ask your friends and neighbors where they got their help from, that seems to work best, to have someone recomended to you.

Answer 10
