Anyone who thinks I'm not a nice person, think again:
The ethical way to get rid of a **** cleaner:
***
Dear Maria,
I’m very sorry but we are trying to save money in order to buy a house. We have looked carefully at ways to save money and I’m afraid this means we won’t be needing you as our cleaner any more.
I realise this must come as a surprise and I want to be as fair as possible to give you a chance to find new customers. I’m hoping you’ll agree to one month’s notice, meaning your last day cleaning for us would be Thursday 4th April.
I’m really very sorry Maria but we need to save money, which is why we’re having to let you go. We are both very grateful for all the work you’ve done for us and would be delighted to give you a reference in future.
I will give you a call this evening so I have the chance to explain in person but, in the meantime, thank you for your understanding.

How do you know she is going to be understanding?
-
I'm hoping my decisive tone obligates her to be so.
-
You are giving her a months worth of time to steal your most treasured possessions?
And take copies of your keys etc...
If she doesn't take everything, expect to be burgled within 2 weeks of her leaving.
-
She cleans for my dad too, so if she cúnts us over she loses another customer
And anyway, I'm happy take that small risk if it gives he a bit of breathing space to find a new customer.
-
What if you now get broken into 10 days after she leaves?
It may have nothing to do with her, but in your mind you will now have her as number 1 suspect.
-
As I say, I'm comfortable taking that small risk if it helps her out
-
But you said you would get your old man to fire her as well.
This 'break in' 10 days after she leaves may be purely coincidental. But you are going to have her as number 1 suspect and cost her another client.
Isn't it best to just cut these things clean? From my experience, good cleaners have a waiting list of clients.
-
His only treasured possession is the cat
expect the poor sod to be poisoned, sometime soon.
-
If we got burgled she wouldn't be my number one suspect
unless the evidence suggested the burglar had let themselves in.
And she's not a good cleaner. She's a **** cleaner. That's why we're firing her. I still feel bad, though.
-
Fair enough. Leave the note and try and avoid seeing her for the next month.
-
She'll give it AI.....oh
-
I hadn't actually considered that
-
I thought the cat was cured?
-
-
Utter moral cowardice imo
-
"Listen Maria. This just isn't working out. Perhaps your cleaning technique
would be better suited to a different flat."
-
I sacked her previously a few years ago after falsely accusing her
of breaking a mirror (I later realised I'd done it myself with a belt buckle).
So we needed an excuse this time.
-
Hang on - you only recently moved flat. Did you really take the cleaner with you?
-
Huh?
-
We need to sack this cleaner, she is useless... If only we had a good reason.
Well we're moving house soon, but lets take her with us and then think of a reason in a few months... :homer:
-
No, she only started cleaning at our current flat about 4 months ago (we moved in a year ago)
The previous cleaner was great, but was scared of cats :rolleyes:
I've been rather unlucky in this regard. A former cleaner had an allergy to bleach!
-
I sacked her previously a few years ago - was that an error?
-
I am actually really confused, can you clear something up for me.
Whilst being accused of being vulgar by sharing my recent purchase with Awimb, I pointed out that you had taken us along your journey of flat hunting. Didn't you buy a flat then?
-
Thought he was renting?
still not quite sure why he re-hired his previously sacked cleaner though :rubchin:
-
I think he's telling porkies somewhere. His nose will grow
-
Well it seems that way... But I was sure he linked us into flats for sale at one point.
-
You better duck
-
Sounds like he's been literally taken to the cleaners.
-
Someone on Awimb telling lies about purchasing something they haven't bought? Surely not
-
He had been trying to buy. It fell through or they were dicking him around or something.
-
I want a bigger picture
-
No, we made an offer recently but pulled out. Still renting.
-
Still, quite vulgar of you to boast to Awimb that you are buying a place, don't you think?
-
Because i sacked her for breaking a mirror that I later realised she hadn't broken
-
Showing off the money again. Buying a house sacking your cleaner.
-
Ah yes......but she was shit prior to that, no?
Could have said "I apologise profusely but unfortunately I've signed a long-term contract with a professional cleaners"
-
Monty has immigration on speed dial.
-
But half of Awimb probably own a property. It's hardly something to boast about.
-
I would suggest the same about a car, but I have learnt the hard way.
