An employer who posted on social media that she had forbidden her Filipino maid from talking directly to the man of the house – the employer’s husband – has provoked heated discussion among netizens.
The woman said she had set the house rule from the first day, Sky Post reported, adding that she was the middle person for all communication between “Sir” and the domestic worker.
She went on that the maid had violated the rule at the beginning and had been scolded, after which violation of the “don’t talk to Sir” rule was not repeated.
A friend argued with her, saying she had infringed on her domestic worker’s rights, and the woman was upset by this comment. But she insisted she was the boss and so she could set whatever house rules she liked.
Netizens slammed her as an arrogant employer who treated her maid like a slave.
However, Joan Tsui Hiu-tung, convener of the Support Group for Hong Kong Employers, agreed with the one-decision-maker arrangement as it could avoid the issuance of conflicting instructions for the maid.
Tsui said she had heard from male employers who said they didn’t know how to handle situations when their domestic workers complained or made tearful requests.
Hong Kong Union of Employment Agencies chairman Thomas Chan said some female employers worried that their husbands would have affairs with their maids, and therefore they would set some harsh house rules.
Chan said this type of employer usually changed maids very often.
He also reminded domestic workers that they should keep their female employers as well informed as possible to avoid any jealousy.

lumalabas na babaero ang asawa nyang lalaki! Kung alam nya na matino ang asawa nya hindi aya dapat mag set ng rules na wag kausapin ang asawa nyang lalaki. Normal lang na magtanong, mag greet as a sign of respect. She should ask his husband not to mingle to her helper to avoid jealousy.
you employer full of jealousy, before you hire a maid,fix your mindset first,educate yourself to be a good employer,.you better change for your own good and for the good of others…that’s insane
Could be a bad case of insecurities and distrust…lady employer so pathetic.
Taena di mag hire xa ng mukang impakta para wala xang problema gagong.employer nuknukan cguro ng panget ang futa
For me it’s right. As a helper we must obey the rules and regulation on house of our employer. Just follow it so that we can avoid problems.
Insecure bitches thats what the proper term for those kinds of female employers!
oh my..something wrong
much better she also talk to her husband dont talk to the helper, specially if the husband looking something and she much take care of her husband. this situation show she dont have trust her husband at all. if you know your husband is good, gentleman person, no need ro worry. put your self in the helper situation what do you think? you can do it? I think madam you not tutoly dont understand, if you said you are the boss means only you the helper give the service not include. the husband, children and so on.
Lady boss not mostly if d will know dat their
Catherine Ambojnon bullshit kkluka
DOnt talk to Sir..Its ok…So just to avoid lots of nega effect..Jealousy are very common to female boss esp if the maid is more pretty and adoRing little drama..Little works..Izit right or not?
Hmmmm abnormal maybe your maid is pretty than you hahaha
I have my experience to my previous employer the same of this situation.Even you talk directly to the husband still the wife will decide.Sarado Ang isip ng mga Chinese woman employer mga selosa na wala namang dapat pagselosan in short liwba!better they don’t need to hire a domestic helper and treat as slave kc walang magging magandang relationship between the helper and the signed employer.
hahaha..
Every where you work,it is natural that the female boss have rules like that..and even don’t have it for yourself to have practice this kind of rules..its better to be close to your female boss than the male…its become a good relationship between you and your employer.Ofcourse as a female worker if we have any concern we should approch first our female boss unless if she is not around and she ask you that if you have any question you can ask SIR…Its depend on the situation…how if your female boss go for overtime or travel,then how u dont ask what to cook for your SIR..coz Mam say dont talk to SIR ????????..Sir also is your employer and we also need to respect him….must understand in every situation.Unless Mam told you that dont cook or dont mind SIR while she is away…As what female bosses means about that is Dont be Close or very freindly to your SIR ????????✌
I also have Mam before like that ..
She told me onmy first day that everything concern about work and around the house must communivate with HER not to SIR…the reason is SIR dont know and dont mind about that…SIR only concern is to work for the family and payy salary ????????????????
maganda yan para di mo maamoy hininga ni sir mo c maam lng ang may karapatan solohin nya lng.ayos yan
hahahhahq ai tama
I think its gud idea have rules like dat so dat it will be easy for us????????
