Do maids have to wear a uniform?

[fireblade]

Depends on how you look at the maid's job. It is a noble job that one doesnt have to be feel degraded. It is only in our minds that we look down to this kind of a job. For me, any job is just as important and wearing my uniform is no big deal.

[Mguy]

I had numerous maids throughout the years and I never ask them to wear a uniform. Since they live at my house, I treat them a part of the family. Of course, I set some ground rules so that we could all get together fine.

However, there are sometimes that I do want them to wear uniform when we go malling just because what they have are sometimes very skimpy clothes such as spaghetti/tube or open toe slippers but they have knocked-out feet. I usually buy them shoes or clothes but they still stick to their wardrobe. Oh well, that's what they want.

Ya i dont see what the big deal is. Baket degrading?

Sige ganito.... sa party, ipa-civilian mo ang yaya/maid, now she's a guest? Sa mall, ipa-civilian mo ang yaya/maid, namamasyal na sya?

whats the point of this topic? Dont make maids feel like maids coz they already know they are maids and u dont have to rub it in?

sa akin no need...they can weat what ever they want to wear...every xmas nga may damit sila regalo from us eh...

pero there this one time na super formal wedding and kasama ko ang kids ko kinailangan mag suot ni manang ng white ala nurse uniform para naman hindi siya OT (he..he)

pero aside from that wala na, eh pamilya ko na rin ang kasama namin sa bahay,
kasabay namin kumakain, at kapag umuuwi ako pa ang naghahatid sa pier pati na rin sundo...

sa amin hindi... treatment namin ay kapamilya ang mga naging household help namin.

furthermore, ung maid uniform na nakapalda doesn't seem suited to their work. kaya minsan natatawa ako kung makakita ako ng lady pulis o security guard na naka palda. pano kung me habulan? B) same logic for salesgirls in malls; parang di ata komportable mag inventory na naka skirt

yep..part of the family na sila eh. di na kailangan...binibigyan din naman namin sila ng damit, pag kinakailangan na lang siguro tulad ng ginawa ni ser kimps.

alam naman nila kung san sila lulugar (ganito sa amin, ewan ko lang sa iba) sila na nga rin naglalaba ng salawal namin so dapat maging komportable sila kung ano man ang suotin nila...well of course with our supervision, sinasabihan naman namin kung medyo off na yung suot nila.

tulad nung kay rally dati gusto rin nung maid namin na nakauniform... pero sabi ko sa mom ko sagwa naman... hindi ko type yung nakauniform na maid... and besides, we treat them like family members...

kung itatrato sila na kapamilya, ganun din nila tayo itatrato, remember sila nangangalaga ng bahay, ng mga anak natin at di mababagabag ang loob na natin na may masamang mangyari. may uniform man o wala, as long as anduon ang respect natin bilang tao sa kanila ala siguro magiging problema. Thats why di na KATULONG tawag sa kanila ngayon kundi KASAMBAHAY.
