An employer faced a heavy backlash from netizens after she posted a Facebook message criticizing her domestic worker for running up her water bill by bathing too often.
The employer, likely a woman judging from her nickname “Little Cloud,” wrote in a post in Chinese on the Facebook page of Support Group for HK Employers with FDHs that she was angered by her maid bathing at 9pm on Saturday and again early on Sunday before going out for her weekly holiday.
She said such bathing habits would result in a heavy cost burden from her water bill. She also asked other employers in the group whether their domestic workers had similar habits of bathing before and after sleep.
The post was screen-captured and reposted on the Brother-Sister Facebook Club page. Little Cloud was slammed for her unkind comments about her domestic worker.
Many netizens said domestic workers had a right to take a shower when they wished, while any employer who tried to stop them was being unreasonable. Some said Little Cloud should praise her maid for being careful with her personal hygiene.
Taking a shower two or three times a day is normal if it is summer or the indoor ventilation is poor, they said.
Little Cloud was also slammed by netizens for creating a “control freak” image for Hong Kong employers. They added that the Water Supplies Department was providing water to Hong Kong residents at a low price.
very well said
I bath 3x a day esp. Summer
We are concern our personal hygiene. Thats Filipino people
We, Filipinos, we are taking a bath before we sleep, and we can’t go outside, taking our dayoff without taking a bath. That’s our habit
That’s Chinese they seldom take a bath like my boss before in heng fa Chung
She always say so many germs virus but she herself seldom take a bath
It’s better for us pilipinos we take a bath 3x a day .. that’s a proper hygiene..
Lol
Some employers,ask the maid to take bath in the morning and before go to bed.And that employer maybe she dont do that.She is (DUGYOT).✌✌.
Some employers don’t let their helpers shower in their house, instead they let helpers shower in the residents club. To save water bill? It seems like you have to control your pee to avoid using water to flush in the toilet.
Afraid of water…i mean
Maybe you are beautiful but under your undies there is cheez on it…your lucky
To have a filipino maid becoz she care
Her hygiene,how about you? Hire a chiness so that you are the same,afraid to water????????????????????????????
Huuu???I am doing the same thing having my shower at saturday night before retiring,then having my shower again at sunday morning that’s not a problem to my employer because even my employer are having their shower once in the morning(before going to office)and again once when they comeback from work maybe that lady is not having her shower as often just like some other employer????????????
