My housekeeper left me a brochure for some beauty products with a note saying how brilliant they were and that she could get me a great discount. I looked it up and it is an MLM.
Am I being unreasonable to think that as my employee she shouldn’t be trying to flog me stuff?

Why are some posters still insisting the lady is self employed even after OP has explained she pays tax, NI and pension contributions?
Is it difficult to rtft?

My fault - I clearly didn’t read the thread.
She should not be leaving her posters OP.

as my employee

Get over yourself, Margot Leadbetter.

Would there be this hostility if I’d described her as my PA?

If you persisted in haughty phraseology like "as my employee", definitely.

Would everyone rather the Op didn't help the economy and not employ anyone.

That's a disingenuous & predictably Straw Man point - it's clear the objections are not about the employment, but the hoitytoity tone of "as my employee she shouldn't" proscriptive bollocks.

Just say you aren’t interested. In non judgmental way.

I suppose if eg you were in any way vulnerable eg, an elderly relative of mine, I would then think it inappropriate.

She's your housekeeper not your GP. Move on.
