When you are working in Hong Kong as a Filipina domestic helper, you will be bound by a contract. If you want to longer your employment, you have to obey certain rules. You have to do your part in order to keep your job. There are, however, various reasons why employers terminate the service of their housemaids and you should be aware of these reasons. Below are some of them:
As much as you can, avoid becoming a guarantor to a friend who is trying to borrow money from a debtor. If that friend of yours won’t be able to pay what she has borrowed, the collector will keep on bugging you even to the point of calling your employer’s residential number everyday. When this happens, your employer will definitely be pissed off and might decide to fire you out.
Jealousy can also lead to serious troubles. When the wife of your boss becomes jealous of you, you can be terminated. Cases such as this one can end your job. Some families would choose to have a housemaid as a casualty than making their relationships suffer just because of someone’s jealous feelings.
Being able to communicate well can also be a reason for terminating a Filipina housemaid in Hong Kong. Sometimes, there will be elders in the house who can only speak Cantonese. If you do not know how to relate to that person, that may lead to employment problems.
Another problem that can lead to your termination is having an employer who will expect too much from you. He will terminate you if you will fall short of his expectations. For this reason, know what a potential employer expects from you before signing up a contract with him.
Try your best as well not to disobey your employer. Disobedience is a very good reason to get you terminated. Being disobedient is an attitude problem that no employer would want to see in a housemaid.
Stealing is not just a bad attitude. It is a crime as well. If you will be caught in this doing, your termination will come in a flash and you might have no choice but to serve a sentence in jail. There may be temptations in your employer’s house but keep in mind that your job and your dignity as a Filipina are more important than obtaining those items through theft.
Sometimes, the reason for getting terminated from your job is the sudden downfall of your employer. He may suddenly experience bankruptcy, demotion, termination and the likes. His financial status will serve as a big factor which will lead him to come up with the decision to give you up.
