Maids not Allowed to use Regular Elevators in Condo Building.

[shadow]

It does happen though when a helper becomes part of the family. Usually this is with helpers that have been with the family for generations. They don't do any housework anymore, they just supervise at home.

they are still your family's employee a trusted employee but still not part of the family...

..... patulugin ninyo sa kwarto ninyo ....

Nakow, may ibang amo ganito .......... pag wala si Mrs, herherher

[lowslowbenz]

Meron mga househelp na may malasakit sa amo. As what we have sa bahay. She knows what to do. Automatic ang kilos nyan, food, bills, letters, house cleaning, pets, grocery list, ........ everything.

Meron naman na saksakan ng inutil. As what we had sa condo ng asawa ko. Hindi marunong magluto, hindi marunong maglaba, kung maglinis, once every 3 days! Lahat na sekyu doon sa condo, ka-text mate nya.

Tumaba nga sa kaka-kain, at tulog. Sarap buhay ........... Pina-uwi nalang namin.

E pano yung mga me Dakilang Alalay, magkikita na lang sila sa pupuntahang floor?

Service elevators are typically very slow, most likely it will stop at all floors going up/down since all of them are waiting on it. Deliveries, garbage, etc also use service elevators, so most likely they're full most of the time.

Babalik din yan sa mga amo. Pag nagpabili yan ng McDo, etc. matatagalan kasi di makasakay si Inday.

imho, mas me punto if they limit deliveries, garbage collection etc to service elevators. Madudungisan yung main elevators niyan. Taking the above as is, ang OE naman.

Regarding the DHs in HK: i guess mas OK sa atin kung Pinoy ang nag aapi sa kapwa Pinoy, kesa banyaga yung nag aapi. Hypocrites

Mga indio lang yang mga yan... Indio...

Minsan nga si amo dun sa kwarto ni inday matutulog pag wala si misis. Hehehe

I don't see anything wrong with the policy. Nagtrabaho ako sa heart center way way back, kaming maintenance di pwede gumamit ng regular elevators, service elevators lang. May exeptions like kung rush yung dapat gawin like after a brownout at i-start mga aircon units, pero other than that wala na.

[Syuryuken]

sumbong na kaagad sa CHR yan

[oj88]

The said policy is hardly discriminatory. Dami lang OA and not seeing the big picture.

For example sa office, yung mga managerial level walang time-in/time-out and honesty-basis ang pag-report ng leaves and absences. But yung rank and file, bantay-sarado time-in/out nila at di sila sasahod kapag di sila nakapag-file. Tinanggap nila ito as policy when they were hired. Would you call that discrimination? I don't hear them complaining. Trabaho lang.

Diba sa mga posh hotel din bawal mga staff sumakay sa guest elevator unless meron silang ine-escort na guest? Otherwise, sa service elevator or stairs lang sila pwede. Do you hear them complaining? Trabaho lang.

Ganito lang yan. Yung mga amo ang nagbayad o bumili ng condo unit. The maids/drivers/contractors, with ALL due respect, have nothing invested in it. Di sila naglabas ni isang kusing to be in the condo. If any, if it were not for their amo, they wouldn't even have a right to be on the building premises. They're just being asked to use the service elevator....that's all. Call it as part of their job description.

Besides, it's not like they're being asked to use the stairs.

sa office namin, kaming mga commoner e nasa ordinary elevators. pag mga boss, may sariling elevator na de-susi

[yebo]

^ just like getting an economy ticket while your boss travels in business/first class. there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. they can always label the elevators "owners" and "service".

[kik0matsing]

As long as may service elevator na gamit mga maids i see no problem regarding this issue. Kung wala silang gagamitin na elevator un ang hinde na makatao. . .

I was told that at some local banks staff have a different wash room from the officers.

[170kphlang]

yung policy naman na yan nag-aapply din sa bathroom, locker at dining area hindi lang elevator. kaya nga hiwlay din ang guest entrance na diretso sa lobby at employee's entrance diba.

Ikaw? Commoner??? Eh parking mo, katabi na ng mga big boys.

[boybi]

hehehe...napaplastikan kasi ako na family members kuno ang treatment nila sa mga maids, kalokohan! its nothing but a employer-employee relationship ...kung talagang "family" sila eh patulugin ninyo sa kwarto ninyo and mag A/C sila buong araw habang wala kayo sa bahay, saka bakit panay utos ninyo? eh family sila..eh di dapat hinde sila gumagawa ng meager chores sa bahay, kaya ninyo bang utusan nanay ninyo para gawin yun mga pinapagaw sa pamilya ninyo katulong?

Eto dapat sinagot ko dun sa Yaya thread dati

[sherwintommy]

our family owns a unit in Icon,,, and yes,, that memo is posted in elevators,,, but i should say,,, I find the service elevator almost the same with the one provided for tenants/owners, or guests... and it's even wider in space,,, for delivery purpose,,, and i do not find any issue, I even take the service elevator since it is located just beside the entrance lobby whereas the regular elevator is located near the pool area. ,,

Si Cedric at gagamboy ang huwag nilang pasakawin ng elevator sa condo kahit meron dalang fud, cguradong gulo yun.

OT: yun naman experience ng maid ng sis inlaw ko sa elevator sa condo, late night na ng sumakay, may nakasabay daw silang dalawang middle easternian na naka inom grabe daw makatingin sa kanila and kinakausap sila
simula noon ayaw ng sumakay sa elevator yun maid

[Ry_Tower]

Yan ang maganda.

Nothing wrong with that as long as may elevator din para sa maid. Sa mga hotels nga ganyan din, sa service elevators maintenance, delivery etc. Para nga naman mas convenient sa talagang nagbabayad like condo owners.

Bangko Sentral have this setup, they have dedicated wash room for executives..

The Condo management maybe should just released reminders thru memo to tenants/owners to inform their maids/yaya/drivers regarding the policy or call for a meeting or conduct seminars to maids/yaya/drivers on rules and regulations of the condo instead of pinning that policy in the regular elevators that will surely attract attention not only of the maids/yaya/drivers but also of guest/visitors/owners and tenants which in turn becomes an eyesore or can lead misunderstanding of the policy.

as for our family we treat them as "helpers" or "katulong" and not "utusan" or "slave" meaning of helper that you also do some of the job in the house. for example, if i clean my car, i ask for them to assist me or when i cook dinner, they help me cut the ingredients and i do the cooking. also if we bring them out, we don't require them to wear uniforms showing they are "maids" instead we let them wear casual attire.
