I work for a bully of a woman. Shes so nice and sweet at first and she's so nice and sweet to every one but there's another side to her. It took me a long time to see.
She wasn't working today and she had me do my usual day. She had plans at home. She was planning a lunch date with some of her friends in her dining room. She decided to get me to help her clean the dining room. First of all she refused to maintain any sort of social distancing and she kept walking into my personal space and breathing down my neck. She had a real 'Yellow, come hinder, right now' attitude. She was getting me to tidy the dining room and put away the father's work from home stuff into the bedroom out of the way. I was working and then I decided to sweep the floor. She around the place huffing -
Clean the bathroom yellow,
Empty the dishwasher
Do the laundry
It was just her attitude that she used with me. It wasn't even an ask from her. It was more like orders from her. I'm not superwoman. I was working through the jobs and she marches up to me and barks I asked you to empty the dishwasher, would you please do it. Even though I was working through the list of jobs. She was nasty. She wanted the place spic and span for her lunch date at home.
One of the children who was at home picked up on the mood and she tried to diffuse the mother's mood and asked her - 'is there anything I can do to help' and the woman just barked the kid. The woman spoke as if the child interrupted her on purpose or something. The woman barked - 'you know you're not helping me when you stop me to ask these things. If you see something that needs to be done, just do it. If you see something that needs to be put away, put it away'.
It was an absolute dirty attitude that she had. Of course it all disappeared when her mates arrived into the house and sat around the place, not even normal talking and laughing. It sounded like a drunken hen party get-together where people shout and do that laugh shouting where the next town can hear them.
The woman is refusing to maintain any sort of social distancing. The eldest teenager is meeting her friends in town every day. The middle child has regular sleep overs. The youngest child has an intellectual disability and continues to attend her special school half days. The parents has increased their social life's since the pubs and restaurants have been allowed open - you're talking about plans every weekend. The lock down brought about a reduction in movements but since the easing of the lock-down its almost as of they want life to go back to the way it was. The middle child was very sick as a baby and a condition where I would be very concerned about this virus but the parents are adamant that the virus doesn't effect children as badly.
I'm heartbroken seeing what they are doing. I love all of their children but there is a huge risk for the middle child with this virus and I'm utterly heartbroken how they are rushing back to their old life's of going out every weekend. Not to mention the risk they are putting me and also my family through. I've been following the guidelines down to T. The economy is opening up. Businesses are opening up but I'm still living with reduced movements.
I'm putting my family at risk because of this job. I don't know what to do.
