Do maids have to wear a uniform?

[BlueBimmer]

makisali na rin ako, i dont think discrimination ang pagsuot ng uniform ng maid. siguro kung super strict ang amo na maguniform talaga at pagalitan sila kung di nakauniform or something, un medyo tagilig pa. oh well.

the best argument i've read in this forum.

tingin ko iba hindi mo naiintindihan nagbabasa ka lang.

[explorer]

tanong ko lang...

Your working right?

Do u run a department or something or just a plain worker?

Kung may ari ka nang company or your managing a departmnent siguro dun maiintiondihan mo ako.

Even minsan maganda ang trato mo may mga ahas pa din...

Ano ba ang tagalog nang perception?

dba akala? Di ba nakakamatay ang akala.

as what ferrari said...you cannot just compare the maid to other employees. if you want to really make your maid feel the 'sense of family', i believe that requiring them to wear uniform will not help that goal. and if you treat your maid just like any other ordinary employee...then you have all the reasons to require them to wear uniforms. i won't argue with that.

Eh di ano ngayon? May pakialam ka nga ba o wala kung nakauniporme yung mga maids/drivers/bodyguards? Hindi naman ata eto yung punto eh.

If you ask me, it's just plain preference of the employer and/or the employee.

wala ako pakialam kung naka uniform o hinde. at walang masama kung naka uniform.

What's with the making-the-maid-part-of-the-family thing?

U spoil an employee and u will end up with an employee u cant handle.

Hindi mo nga ako naiintindihan.

I run a business and im working in a multinational company that i manage a department.

My employees in my company gusto ko they will feel they part of the family. Im pushing the corporate culture of " sense of family" thay they own the company kasi pagnalugi wala din sila makakain kaya dapat pagmalasakitan nila.

Sa company naman pinagtratrabahuan ko. Ganun din We are in a corporate family kailangan malasakitan namin ang company.

Gets!!! Tingin ko nga hindi.

Even I trust them kailangan im aware of everything.

Thinking ko im always AWARE and BEWARE!!! dahil mahalaga sa akin lahat lalo na anak ko.

Trust? kaw may tiwala ka ba lagi? do u trust urself always na kaya mo.

Pag nasagot mo tanong ko magaling kana pwede na... hahahahahaha

sa mga tsikoteers na nagpapa suot ng white uniform sa mga maids ninyo: ano ang mararamdaman ninyo kung kayo ang pinapasuot ng white uniform sa public places like malls at restaurants ??

wala... ano masama sa pag-suot ng maid uniform? ano masama sa paglalandakan na maid ka? eh hindi naman nakakahiya yun...

kung mahihiya ka sa trabaho mo eh, umalis ka... bayad ka para gawin mo yan eh...

sa pagsuot ng uniform, walang personalan... trabaho lang...


walang uniform at trabaho na nakakahiya... ang nakakahiya lang ay yun pag hindi mo paggawa sa trabaho mo...

ako hindi ko pagsuotin ng uniform yun mga maid unless gusto nila... why? sayang din sa pera yun eh...

Employees, no matter how good u treat them, will still have their own interests in mind. Many employees work in a company, get the most they can out of the company (benefits, wages, separation) then leave.

A company can spend a lot of money training an employee then after the training, aalis sya then go work for the competition.

People, no matter how good u treat them, will always look after themselves first. Lalo na sa pinoy. Sarili muna, pamilya muna. country and company takes a backseat.

ayan na. everything that i was thinking is in oldblue's post. balik na lang ako sa pag-popcorn

Pwede pa-share?

there was a lady who was gathering firewood. She chanced upon a poisonous snake frozen in the snow.

She took the snake home and nursed it back to health.

One day, the snake bit her. As she lay dying, she asked the snake, "why have u done this to me?"

the snake said, "Look bitch, u knew i was a snake."

kung degrading maguniform and maid, e mas degrading pkaya maging metro aide? naka yellow uniform palagi naglilinis ng kalye tsktsk

IMO just see it as it is, a UNIFORM. everyone has worn a uniform right?

[van_wilder]

in the first place, who the hell told us that we have to make them feel "they belong to the family..." sa philippine culture lang yan... being a maid is nothing but another job...

clavel: it would be very hard for an employee to put himself into an employers shoes... because they have never been there... because if they have been there, many would not climb the corporate ladder anymore... i understand what you are trying to say...

i believe that uniforms would not be a barrier on making someone feel "they belong to a family" what would alienate them is your treatment towards them... if you treat them right but chose to make them wear uniforms, that is more than enough...

kapag pinag-uniform ba tayo ng nanay natin para malaman ang magulang sa anak, wala na yun sense of family?

uniforms doesnt eliminate the sense of belongingness, you still belong pero may hierarchy na... it doesnt meant may hierarchy wala ng belongingness... uniforms conveys that "im with you, but im not of you..." which is reality naman... so wag na tayo magpakahipocrito...

yes. I agree!

people here talk about maids like as if they are poor little angels. Someone should start a thread here like "Maid Horror Stories"

tingnan natin kung puro poor little angels nga ang mga maid....

[van_wilder]

lets all sum it up in one sentence...

"WHATS THE BIG DEAL WITH MAID'S UNIFORM?"


if you want to be understood by people who made their maids wear uniform, you should understand them also...

if you want understanding, you should give it first...

respect their opinions and choices, so you would also be respected... its their choice, their life, their money, their happiness... its a free country... if you want to intervene and change their lifestyle, then lets abolish democracy...

if there are maid horror stories...there are also 'amo' horror stories...and in most cases...kawawa lagi yung mga maids.

i agree...pero may perception kasi na pag maid ka, you're the lowest of the low, which we all know isn't true. i know maids and janitors who put all their kids through college and are now working professionals...anong nakakahiya dun?

[empy]

:bwahaha: 10 pages na!

did anybody bother to ask a maid whether they found it demeaning to wear a uniform in public?

let me restate the two biggest fallacies i've read in this thread:
1. all employers are for some reason supposed to make their hired help feel like family or else they are Satan incarnate
2. it is demeaning for a maid to have to wear a uniform in public.

the people who are stating this are just saying it over and over without bothering to explain why #1 and #2 are true. maybe saying it enough times will make it so
