How to apply learning of work place at home?

It was really a hilarious moment for me when the episodic of the tussle between my wife and the maid continued into the second day today. My wife had called me to check if there was any adverse reaction from the maid after she left for work this morning.
For the month of November, our maid had broken free for about 10 days without information.  It is a different matter that maids want to keep things a secret despite the 'malkin' thinking the maid is much more than a sister.
Quite disturbed at her behaviour and as per the arrangement of deducting pay , the maid was handed about Rs. 300 less - after a prolonged discussion of adjusting for her compensatory leaves, inflation, extra concern she showed for our vases and show pieces etc. Somehow this 'account' was very upset and kept displaying her annoyance.

My wife is working in the debt restructuring cell of an institution and almost every day involved in stretching the loan period pf clients in the hope of recovering someday.  How well she does her job at office is matter of concern for her bosses. But surely she pulled a good one on the maid today.

The loan repayment of Rs. 1000 the maid was doing  was reduced to Rs. 500 this month and the deduction due to absence was also considered along with an extension of the term of the repayment. The poor client( aka maid) saw eventually she has got about Rs.200 more than what she would have had Rs. 1000 been cut with the loan extension by another month.


Well Well! You sure can take life's experiences into work place or vice versa.
