[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here I think this post has taken a different tune. I am not upset about how I am much I am paying her to work. I am upset about how she handled the situation. If she had come to me and said, " I really need a little but more money to pay me bills. Can we please work something out? " I would not even blink and eye. I would have paid her because I do think she is doing a good job and it is not a lot of money in the long run. 
I am just taken back by her ultimatium. I am planning on talking to her about it directly. But, I was just wondering how others would handle it. I would like her to be happy, but at the same time I don't want to be a push over.[/quote]

If her language skills are bad- perhaps it is part of her problem communicating in a mature, professional way?

I don't do well with ultimatums, personally.[/quote]

Agree with the first sentence.  I mean it is quite possible she came across as giving an ultimatum because of her English skills but she really was not[/quote]

I agree also. For a NSOE this would be a red flag, but if her English skills are limited it's really difficult for us to determine if she was intentionally being rude or simply relying on the limited words/structures she's familiar with.[/quote]
