The maid was forced to pay 10K less, so she immediately sent a 3-page message to teach the homeowner a lesson.

Recently, a girl shared about her difficult situation when hiring a maid. According to the message she posted, she hired a maid with a salary of 170,000/session for 3 hours of cleaning.

It is unclear what the previous message contained, however, the maid sang a long song to her employer, causing the girl to exclaim: "I'm so scared to hire a maid."

Specifically, the girl shared the text message she received from the maid as follows:

"Do you really need to save 10 thousand? Or do you need someone who is conscientious, meticulous, clean, quick, can remember what you say once (maximum 2 times) and understand two or three things? Good health, experience working for middle-class or upper-class families? Knows how to use most types of machines, blenders, juicers?...

I don't mean to be too self-important, but we are clearly "exchanging value with each other". We sell our labor, time, and even our own experience. So I have to be right and modest enough.

A 43-year-old man, living in Saigon for 28 years, worked for many families, completed 16 classes - Compared to a 53-63-year-old woman, newly arrived from the countryside or living in Saigon for 5-7 years, the thinking and experience are very different. You pay me the same price as those women (about 55k/hour) then..."

She is in District 9 (Thu Duc City). She said that after receiving this message, she did not hire the maid. "I think it's simple, whether you buy or rent, you have the right to bargain. If you don't like it, then it's just a coincidence. I rented it for 3 hours for 170 thousand" - the girl shared, and also publicly posted the maid's nick on social media.

The post received many mixed opinions.

One side supports the author of the article. After all, it is a fair deal, when the girl offers a price like that, if it is not acceptable, she can refuse, but suddenly blaming the owner is not right. Not to mention, the owner does not want to hire a maid who argues too much like this, because she might criticize the owner.

However, there are also many opinions against the girl's article.

Most people commented that the salary of 55 thousand/hour for a maid is too low, compared to the market price which usually fluctuates around 70-150 thousand/hour. Although the maid texted back harshly, she still maintained respect and was not rude to the girl. However, the girl posted her profile publicly without covering her face, which is also very blameworthy!

In fact, many domestic workers today are highly educated. Many still have full-time administrative jobs, and choose to work as domestic workers in the evenings and on weekends to earn extra income. It is normal for them to feel that their salary is not as expected and to complain.

Up to now, this post still receives many mixed comments from netizens. And below are some outstanding comments:

- "Before, I was hired as a student for 3.5 million/month, 2-4 hours a day, finished work and went home. I worked for nearly 2 months without meeting the boss, only communicating via phone and camera. The boss was also difficult, but not to the point of haggling over salary. On the right day, there was an envelope on the table. Actually, hiring a maid is also a matter of buying and selling, the price you pay is what the maid does. Suddenly being scolded for a long time must be very frustrating."

- "There is no shortage of knowledgeable people working as housekeepers these days. This person's message is a bit long, but what he mentioned is reasonable. I live in Nha Trang, the price for hiring a housekeeper is also 90-100 thousand/hour. I myself am well-educated, have my own job, but still clean houses by the hour to earn extra money. Working for money, you pay money, I pay effort, not that housekeepers are inferior.

You have the right to refuse that person and negotiate a reasonable price with others, but it is better to respect the individual, which is also a way to increase your own value.

- "Hey, but it's really cheap. My 55-year-old mother works as a maid by the hour, and people pay her 100k/hour, and if she doesn't hire someone, then there's no need to post it on social media. Now everyone thinks that being a maid is a low salary, so hire them on apps! And people say that they work with heart, say 1, understand 2-3, so when you hire them at that price, if you like them, they will do their best to make you like them. That's how maids are, maids do everything."

- "There is no full story, but what the lady in the photo said is not wrong. People assume that domestic help is inferior to them, so they do not consider it a fair trade. There are many families who only look for domestic help with basic education to know how to manage the house with a high salary. I myself hired a maid to clean my rental apartment, and it was 120 thousand/room, 150 thousand/2 rooms. This domestic helper also spoke nicely, but if I had met more shrewish people, it would have been over."

- "My sister hired me for 80k/hour at the market price, but they still nag and gossip to get more hours and more money. If you hire someone for 55k/hour, don't blame them for doing things carelessly. And then posting their profile publicly is a bit too much. I think maids nowadays are very educated, otherwise their rights and salaries won't be protected."

Calling the doctor "sister - brother", the patient's face was straightened, netizens argued Đình Như20:04:50 22/02/2025Communication is the core issue in human life, right from the primitive society.
