Nibby is Being Maltreated at Work

Spoke to Nibby today. She is very upset. It seems that her boss, who owns masses of properties to holiday let, and is currently buying even more, is giving her a hard time. He complained about her standard of cleaning the flats, which he lets for $2000 oz dollars per weekend.

I suggested that he was having the menopause or a hissy fit, and advised her to find something else asap and just leave if she is not happy with him any more. I said she was too old to take any crap at work.She felt he had her over a barrel as there weren't many jobs. But he was only paying her the same as all the other cleaners despite expecting her to manage all his cleaners and properties. I know that if she was living in a proper town rather than in the middle of nowhere she would be a full time artist and well able to support herself by selling her work. Although she sells her paintings, she says that she will not make enough money from it. Nibby is a very talented cook, and I feel that she should either do dinner parties, or in fact start her own cleaning employment agency and employ all the local cleaners. It would give her current employer something to think about. It would be great if she could get a flash new computer and digital camera and upload all her paintings etc onto a good website and try and sell stuff that way internationally.
