It really fustrates me to be a good boss to our helper when I can see her that she's either inefficient or just making things up just for me to do the things for her. Idk.
Let me give you a little back story
She's one of the daughters of our labandera (the kne who washes our clothes) and was referred to us when Ate Doll (our favorite househelper) had an emergency and she needs to go back to the provice and stay there for a while.
So the set up was, she will be staying out and will appear to work everyday with Saturdays and Sundays off. I personally don't agree with her twice a day day off because it's too much. My mom and I have a day job and Saturdays and Sundays are the only days that we usually take a rest, not for me though because I am a freelancer and have a quota of submitting articles everyday to my boss but still, mom and I was left with no choice but to just let it be because we need a house helper. We're slowly feeling exhausted to the point like as if our body will give up. Not to mention, I'm the only one whose taking care of Edmund everyday so if I will do the household chores, I might die any moment. LOL.
So the first weeks was okay. She usually attend to work at 6AM and goes home at 5PM, the problem was, she doesn't know how to cook. So that means, I will be the one who will cook but the preparation will be done by her. But as the months gone by, she rarely goes to work and if she does, she'll arrive at around 8AM.
Grabe te. Yung stress ko umabot na sa puntong naglalagas na buhok ko. Tapos grabe kunsumisyon ko! Hahahahaha.
So how did we deal with her?
- Set Rules
- Set Ultimatum
- Make them feel that they are irreplacable
- Talk to them
- Fire them
