One of my staff broke down sobbing today and informed me of a family drama. His mom had worked a low paying job for the last few years and some wealthier cousins offered her a job as nanny/house cleaner for better; as it beats the costs of day care by large margin for multiple kids. After 3 weeks of 60 hours a week, she got tired of evasions and wanted her pay.
'What, you expect to be paid?!?'
Now there is a little war between the family about it. I've no idea how dire the circumstances are, but what a terrible situation. I don't know why the nerve and shamelessness of some people still surprises me.
