I stand with you, I’m glad you have the money to pay her well. Would you suggest that fella should clean his apartment himself and then the woman next door is also not making those 20 bucks?
Comment on Anon gets rid of crackheads
Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 3 days agoYou let someone clean your whole place for that shitty pay? What are you? A crack junkie too? Have some dignity and pay a human in a shitty situation a decent compensation. Jeez. Our cleaning-lady makes that in an hour after taxes and I even feel like I cheat her.

No. But maybe not abuse someone in such dire need for a Lil cash and pay fair. Junkie or not. Anyhow. My comment was invalid anyway and I took it back.

I know what you mean, you are right, bit that guy is probably paying max he can and they found an arrangement. She’s also probably not 1000% dependent on the money so she could also refuse and take a different gig or negotiate.
As I said, I’m totally with you, the work should get paid what it’s worth and people should not be cheap about it, I’m just saying consider taking in more contextual information before you call out those enslaving junky exploiting fellas.

You’re right, yet there was not much of context. And to assume that people tend to abuse weaker people is not really that unlikely. It’s like the core of capitalism. And most people I’ve encountered would see such a thing as a success.

$20 was worth more 20 years ago, and I had a 1-room apartment. She was making ~$10/hr. Fair pay for cleaning work in 2003, with my supplies.
tl:dr; Get off your fucking high horse.

In that case disregard my comment. “Top to bottom” made it sound like you made her clean a whole fucking house.
BTW, not abusing power over people isn’t high-horse in my book. Just basic human decency.
