hiring a cook & the convos around this process
hello, gonna keep this short because im just annoyed. ive been trying to hire a cook recently. i have a bunch of extended family as well in the society and they've been giving their inputs on this whole cook business.
it's just so weird how they're all like "paise vasool karna" (get ALL your money's worth), "poora faayda uthao" (ensure to take all the benefits you can), "don't trust her, be careful. keep watching her." etc etc.
i just feel so weird hearing this stuff. it feels exploitative, just feels wrong. i mean, they immediately started giving me ideas of everything we should ask her to cook and do... and it's all just so much?
just bothering me hearing these things being said, being exploitative packaged as your "right" for paying her money?
idk man just so weird, hate it
also, there was this one thing my cousin said - she said "usko acche se train karo" (train her well). i know my cousin didn't mean it that way but man it felt like she's talking about a dog - the way you talk about training your pets. "training humans" - it may not be so loaded but idk it just FEELS off?
do you get what i mean? i'm unable to articulate all this properly. i need to read some stuff on this topic. any recs?
