Hiya again,

please do excuse me, im new to the whole Dubai thing, so am gonna be here often with my list of questions, and observations:

- My maids a bit friendly, is this normal behaviour, i've never had a maid before (more ways than one ) and just wanted to check with you guys, the 'oh so experienced ones', as to what is normal maid/boss etiquette?

Thanks

What do you consider "normal behavior"? Normal is in the eys of the beholder. There are maids who get treated just like a family member and then you hear all kinds of horror stories about pysical,sexual, emotinal abuse

basically, when we have a full house, she is obviuosly busy; but then when im home alone, it seems at that point all her chores are in my vicinity.

She did hint at wanting a phone card, and thats when I thought, "hey, whys her cleavage staring at me?"

So, I thought shes just being crafty.... but for sure the cleavage is more visible when im alone!

sorry if the above is mumble, am on the phone at the same time, someones gotta work

u male or a female?

OTP: Sounds like she is trying it on. Get a phone card today, get a little more tomorrow...and so on and so on with you under the impression there is going to be the day when she greets you in the little maids outfit with the bib and the duster and you will be getting it on over the dining table.

I bet its your passport she has eyes on, not your package. Suggest you sack her or buy her the maids outfit and see what she says then!

lets have more details first DK before advising the "sack route"

ie : How much cleavage
Is the view worth a 25 dm phone card.

Maybe if details were posted we could vote on this issue

Of course, M'Lud! I forgot that the DFM jury should at least get to vote as to whether she's a minger or a ringer.

exactly - great minds

you're gonna love this, this afternoon she say's to me,

"Sir, they have sale for Nokia in Satwa"


ROFLMAO
She wants a phone, and not a top-up as I understood. HAHAHA

What, for a bit o'rack?

Arniegang, definitely not enough cleavage for a phone... maybe just enough for a semi!!!!!

If you can park a Nokia communicator in her cleavage, then you might be in with a chance!

Please read my original response...give and inch and you will end up being taken to the cleaners.



Knight

sounds about right DK.

where's the best place to find a maid?

I tend to disagree. A phone is a basic necessasity and in some cases the employer is required by law to provide one. e-g for Indian nationals your required to provide them a cell phone and have the number registered with the Indian embassy. One of the very first thing we did with our Filipino maid was to provide her a cell phone. I provide her a AED 2r card/month on top of her salary. Anything above that she is responsible out of her salary. Its a cheap investment to keep them happy. They need to keep in touch with their loved ones back home too just like us.

I would be very surprised if there is any law within the "labour law" that insists on any employer being given a phone.

Exception - Probably the CEO of DU has this in his contact and was insisted upon by the labour dept

Yeah, but he had to have an Etisalat one as his own service was shite!



Knight

No I think its in the MOU between the Indian government and the labor dept. here. Something like that. I read it in the newspaper when they were talking about revised min maid salaries for different nationalities.

as DK said if theres not enough room to park a Nokia Comm and you confirmed this as such, then can you please confirm which model cell phone will park in her cleavage??

You could liken it to Perfomance Related Pay i suppose. IE: the bigger the parking zone the bigger the phone with a higher specification obviously is negotiable for your maid.

Maybe you could Suggest she shop at La Senza in the MOE to see if the parking zone can be improved thus giving her more options on which phone she would like.

I think to provide any real advice on this most serious of topics we're going to need to see a picture.

Please make sure its a picture of a sexy model... The N95 is a really hot one!



Knight

Well played sir

If the N95 parks in her clevage then i would definately put her on a Performance Relate Pay Structure, the only way is UP then.

Somewhere I have one of those original Motorola mobiles...you know, the one with the battery like a brick and a big clunky handset on top.

Now if she could park one of those between her boys, then gimme her number!!!



Knight

If she's showing cleavage like that, she's not trying to impress him with her humanity.. Send her my way, i'm looking for a maid and i'd love to compare phones. Perhaps she and I can get on a network plan together
