Today, I followed my Godma to this maid agency to choose a maid for my Nanna. The current maid will be leaving in November and duh, she needs a new one. Before we left the house, Godma showed me the shortlisted candidates. To be honest, most of them had that mysterious look. You know, the one that screams 'DANGER!!'. But there was one that instantly made me feel safe. She is my age and she looked pleasant.
Sad thing was, when we reached the agency, that girl has gone to another family's home. Its like a 'siapa cepat, dia dapat' kinda thing and its our fault because we didn't reserve her. Oh well, maybe its for the best.
Anyway, I'm not here to talk about how we didn't get the maid of our choice. I am here to bitch about the workers at the agency it self. I don't know if 'workers' is even the right word. Are they called agents? Gah, whatevs la. Let's just call them workers okay.
So, the workers there are very very very arrogant!!!! Oh, and bossy. They were
Back to the story, here's how the whole rude conversation went between that old chinese aunty with the Cambodian rejected maid.
Old lady: Why your boss dont want you??
Maid: Because I talk to friend
Old lady: Boy ah?? Do you have a boyfriend???
Maid: *nods in fear*
Old lady: Yala...see boy only wanna make friends la. You ahh..*gives a 'i-hit-you-then-you-know' action.
Then she chased the maid away and told the potential employers, 'That one ah, talk to boy friend then happy already wan. No need to eat also can be full because always talk to boyfriend ma.' After that comment, she shouted at that maid 'Right?? No need to eat la. Just talk to boy friend can full already'.
A few long minutes later, this same old cina aunty started shouting in front of every fcuking one in the office, to one of the maids, saying 'WHO SAID YOU CAN SIT INSIDE??? COME OUT NOW!!!' Then she asked another worker 'Why you let her sit inside to eat so long??? You see...talk talk talk only!!!.'
Wahlaooo!!!! Dont need to be so...annoying right?? No, annoying isnt the word. The word is disgusting. I am so disgusted with the way she treated the maids there.
Wanna know what's even more disgusting?? This couple, who was about to take their maid home, told one worker to make sure the maid knows that she cannot combine her laundry with theirs and also she cannot use the same fork/spoon/cup. She must have her own.
What the eff okay. If dont wanna share, why dont you just rent a house for her with her own utensils and own washing machine?? No need to share what. Or better yet, dont frikkin employ a maid!!!! Selfish douche.
Most of the workers there are not local and working with a maid permit. Meaning, they also came here to get a job as a maid but their luck is sooo good that they get a job in the agency as an office worker. So, the best part is, they also treat the maids there like as if they are waaay smarter than them. I know they probably are but there is no need to be disgustingly arrogant right??
I mean, they also went through the same thing like these other maids so why are they being so bossy and all that shiz? They should understand how they feel right? You know, first time working overseas and not knowing what the future holds in the next 2 years. Tsk tsk.
So, to conclude my story, I couldn't stand the behavior of the workers at the maid agency. I was disgusted and I think it is very shameful that they have such sucky attitudes. Go polish yourselves up, women!!!
The nicest worker would have to be the one who was layan-ing us. From what I observed la. The others? Fail!!
Basically, I'm just disappointed about how these maids are treated in the agency. Should give them motivation to work la, not discourage them. If it was me, I would assume that all Malaysians are scary and fierce. With this kinda treatment, how not to be rebellious??
The end. I'm done complaining :)
I know, I sound like such an old nag but whatevs!!! Its my blog.
