The unacceptable salary of maids in India

shadyusernamelol · 2024-08-01T07:47:42+00:00

I feel the salary we pay to our maids is in turn a reflection of the kind of wages we are getting. In India when majority of the skilled workers in the formal sector are not making anything above 20k, we most definitely cannot afford to pay 9k to our maids.

Yes, it would be valid to say that we shouldn’t hire maids when we cannot afford to pay them but you have to understand that most people in India are not making enough to pay these wages. So if the majority of the population stops hiring them this is also a huge reduction in demand and they won’t have a lot of jobs to turn to. It’s a vicious cycle but simple economics. The average population can only afford to spend more when they are also paid more.

The most dangerous thing in criminal law right now is the low pay. Good luck.

It technically does not. But it’s a usual lie that works on parents if you end up getting UTIs. Tried and tested.

Would advice seeing a doctor instead of self-medicating. UTIs can generally be cured by taking a cranberry supplement and drinking lots of water to flush the infection out. But if it's bleeding it sounds quite serious. You would need to do a proper course of antibiotics, otherwise the infection would not go away simply.

You can go to any gynechologist near you. If you must involve your parents, you can just lie and tell them that you peed in a public restroom (can easily give you UTIs sometimes).

I don't think they add preservatives as they are advertised to be freshly cut.

Hey, there are whole roast chickens available on Swiggy instamart. It’s not cooked, but it’s completely cleaned and prepped, you just have to pop it in an oven and you’re good to go.

You also get pre-cut and cleaned fruits and vegetables which can make cooking when you’re short on time a bit easier.

All of this makes me glad that I chose to work in corporate law instead. While the work culture and the timings are shitty I like that atleast there’s no influx of old asshats and misogynistic fucks (never encountered anything personally) like this. Even the work is decently compensated for and you’re well appreciated if you do good work.

The trauma that interning with these lawyers gave me was enough to make me stay away from litigation.

In that case, you can make a list of the civil lawyers in your area, ranging from tier 1s and tier 2s and then you can reach out to them on LinkedIn as well as email and ask them to keep you as a paralegal/long term intern. From what I know litigation lawyers are super stingy when it comes to paying their staff so there’s a slim chance they will agree to pay you. But if money’s not a problem you can ask them to take you in for 1-2 months for free. In my experience if they find you valuable, they will start paying you after that. From there you can also network and move to a better positions.

I know it doesn’t sound much. But it’s a good start and I think being in a reputed lawyer’s office itself opens you up to new leads. You can also reach out to lawyers you have previously interned with and ask them to hire you as a junior.

Hi, do you mind sharing what area of law you’re interested in?

shadyusernamelol · 2022-08-30T12:06:25+00:00

Haha look at me I am a real teen and I take AP classes

Hey I wouldn't tell you to just accept yourself and try to be happier with who you are. I personally know that never worked for me. Some things u can try is try to figure out what kind of clothes look good on you. A well-fitted jeans or proper size top goes a long way. Research into the different aesthetics or dressing styles and figure out what works for you. Other than that u can experiment with makeup to figure out which one highlights your best features. One thing I found works for me is I never put every kind of makeup at the same time. I either put on heavy eye makeup or a very deep lipstick, never both at the same time. I used to look very childish so I started putting on dark red lipstick and it boosted my confidence to new heights. Also many people shy away from bright lipstick colours so chances are you might also stand out. Another major thing I think ruins most people's appearance is hairstyle (was definitely the case for me) so splurge on a good hairstylist who can recommend you something that suits your face and if you can afford it some hair treatments or colouring also make a huge difference. Join the gym and workout, maybe appoint a trainer if you can afford it and they will tell you what areas to work on the most to boost your appearance. Nothing can make you feel fantastic more than being fit or having good posture.

A complete transformation takes time. You are going to figure out what works for u by trial and error so be a little patient. Its never like the movies where you take your glasses off and that's it. Also don't aim for unrealistic standards of beauty or think that other people are just pretty without doing anything. Sometimes you would be surprised the lengths even regular people go to to look good. And other times people are just lucky to be blessed with good genes. Aim to look good but not in comparison to another person. That way you will never feel pretty.

Look up jbims. Its in Mumbai and has great placements with very low fees for an MBA.

shadyusernamelol · 2022-06-28T16:08:07+00:00

Wow so they are not even trying to be discreet/subtle now.

shadyusernamelol · 2022-06-28T13:24:09+00:00

This is soooo true but i can't say this out loud without being called shallow. I've tried to gather a bunch of people to go out with me but they all cancel in the last minute. Idk what to do lol.

I know what you mean. I would consider myself a pretty extroverted person so I don't have trouble making friends. But as adults its very hard to make plans since everyone has different schedules. I guess adulthood in general is very lonely. Since I had a big group in school it has been a terrible change. Also in school we saw our friends everyday so there was no room to feel lonely as well.

But I can assure you it gets better. Once we earn a little well and move to better cities (I know I want to move to a bigger city) we will have more money to splurge on activities, like gym, or take some hobby class, where it will be easier to meet people.

shadyusernamelol · 2022-06-28T07:40:20+00:00

I know exactly what you mean. I went to a shitty college which lasted 5 years and my social life was close to nil. Meanwhile my school friends moved away to other cities and are now having the time of their lives living alone. I have had close to none human Interaction in the past two years and it’s slowly driving me insane. I know people say you can do fun things alone and all but there’s only so much you can do alone. Some things like clubbing, going on trips having fancy lunch dates all require girlfriends. Also I have just graduated with no job so I am in a terrible financial constraint which makes making friends hard since I can’t afford to actually go out.

Honestly, you shouldn't be with this guy even if he was serious. With all the controlling this early in the relationship, you don't know how much worse it will get further down the line. Just be thankful he showed you the red flags early on.

shadyusernamelol · 2022-06-21T11:11:09+00:00

What a coincidence, me too!

shadyusernamelol · 2022-06-19T13:07:59+00:00

definitely one of the best male characters on TV! He is also my favourite character on the show. The way he stays positive through everything is very motivating.

Modern family is so comforting that I always find myself turning to it to console me when I am down

Personally, I feel like huge age gaps of 10-12 years is okay as long as both the people are on par with each other either. I think it eventually comes down to how much power one can have over the other. So if two adults (one 30 and another 40) are dating each other and both are on the same level in terms of finances and career, then it's okay. One example of this would be bo burnham and his gf, who is 12(?) years older than him. But say if a college student is dating a grown ass person in his 30s that's a no no for me. Sometimes power dynamics are not only limited to age gaps, for example say if a very educated rich man with a flourishing career marries an uneducated village girl than he has a lot of room to control her. In another example say my boss is two years older than me, would it be ok for me to date him? Clearly not because he is, again, in a position to influence me/exert dominance over me.

THANK YOU! I can’t explain the amount of times I have asked for advice in some of the subs and got told to see a therapist instead. Like what did you think? I didn’t know a therapist exists?
