[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to fire her and find your self esteem.  It is not your fault that she's disrespectful. It is your fault, however, that you are taking this. You confront her and then fire her, or just summarily fire her, but under no circumstances should you keep her after you tell her she's rude. Your cleaning lady can do a lot of bad things to your stuff and to you. Don't even give her the chance. [/quote]
Thanks. You are 100% right about the self-esteem issue. The fear is that she IS a good cleaning lady and I might have a hard time finding one as good. That's my dilemma.

That's a dilemma that will be good for you to confront and resolve. Whether she's a competent cleaning lady or not is irrelevant. What's at issue here is her problematic behavior and yours, in response to hers. You need to fire her. Before you hire her replacement, do some therapy-guided work on why you've tolerated her behavior, and how you're going to ensure you don't tolerate this kind of inappropriate, unprofessional behavior in future.[/quote]

Start your therapy, by the way, by exploring why you felt the need to qualify your subject line with the phrase, "first world problem."[/quote]
Interesting. Is my use of that phrase indicative of poor self-esteem? I thought I'm just showing I'm aware that people have much worse problems in this world.[/quote]

PP here: she was unambiguously unprofessional and rude to you. Yet you preface your subject line with "first world problem," a preemptive diminishment of your own problem. Your judgment was correct: her behavior was inappropriate and she should be fired. Why don't you trust your judgment? That you don't, and that you posted a DCUM thread seeking advice about how to respond to unambiguously-poor, fire-able, behavior, is an issue - do you see that? I suggest you need to find a good therapist to help you work through what appears to be some significant issues trusting your own good judgment.[/quote]
