A domestic worker offered $10,000 to stay!

After 6 years of loyal devotion, a housekeeper called to explain that she had had it and could no longer work for her employer. To say she felt "abused" is putting it mildly. She was actually treated so poorly that the employee decided to get herself on a bus from their home in Aspen, Colorado and come all the way home to Los Angeles. The employers, recognizing that they made several major mistakes with the employee who virtually did everything for them: cook, clean, drive, shop, cook, manage their estates, handle problems with other personnel at schedules that had her working many times over 60 hours per week, pleaded her to stay. "I will give you $10,000.00 cash right now, if you come back."

The response, "No, there just isn't any amount that you could give me that would be enough to come back. I have had enough and will no longer endure this treatment!"

Household employers must consider their treatment of estate managers, housekeepers, nannies and cooks carefully. We are all accountable for our actions and should think twice before taking advantage of anyone, especially a loyal and outstanding employee.
