Cleaner trying on employers makeup

[seaclaidte]

Would this be a sackable offense for most?
It's a new cleaner by the way. Self employed, so no agency.

Also it was a lipstick.
House owner had left the house but came back to retrieve forgotten item and caught cleaner in the act.

To be fair yes, I’d end it for that. It’s gross.

Absolutely. That is overstepping the boundaries and huge lack of respect for the clients belongings.

Like... tried it on her lips? Directly? 😮

Sacked on the spot for me. All trust would be gone out the window and I'd wonder what she'd be doing with the rest of my things.

Eww very much over stepping

Definitely. I’d say something like ‘I’m sure you understand why we don’t be able to have you back’

Clearly lacking personal boundaries. I'd get rid. She/he cannot be trusted

I would say, so during covid especially, not hygienic at all.

Where will they stop?

Squirt of perfume?
Deodorant?
Hair spray?
Skin care products?

It all adds up and for me it makes them not trustworthy if they're going to help themselves to your personal items.

I can understand it. Once when I was a babysitter I tried on the woman's perfume and then she came back earlier than I expected and I fucking reeked of the stuff! 🙈

It's bad, but lipstick makes it double bad!

I would sack, can't really think of any mitigating circumstances for such as disgusting thing.

🤢. Gross - yes that would be a deal breaker for me. I would think that cleaner had zero boundaries, and I wouldn't want them working in my home.

Yes that would’ve an end to the arrangement for me

Yuck! Yes sackable. I’d probably give her the lipstick as a parting gift.

Sackable offence in normal times but doubly so in a pandemic!

Yes sackable for sure.

Aside from Covid what about passing on cold-sores

Something on the mouth....during a pandemic?

It's gross at the best of times, think cold sores, etc. but right now - you honestly have to ask?

Lipstick testing is vile. A spray of perfume I'd let it go. Ive far too much anyway so wouldn't begrudge it. Still a bit cheeky though but very common.

Instantly dismissed. Don't ask for a reference if you ever want to work again.

Yes. It shows an incredible lack of boundaries.

Particularly at a time when Covid and social distancing mean that people are very wary of passing on infections.

I'd use RuggeryBuggery's words.

Did you do it or is it your cleaner?

Yuck.

And during Covid?

Definitely sackable. The cleaner is untrustworthy and unhygienic.

Ewwww!

Sacked immediately!

Yes sackable.

Perfume is ok, it's normal to be curious about how it smells and doesn't involve sharing bodily secretions. Putting lipstick on her lips, in a pandemic?! No. So unhygienic.

I am very easy going but would sack for that. Especially during a pandemic!!!
