Why not just hire two housekeepers and divide the workload among them?
Is Jeff, or whoever the head butler is, so ruthlessly efficient that the cost of a second employee is intolerable?
- ratg13 4y agoThis was the situation for all of the housekeepers, it's only one that is finally taking action due to repeat urinary tract infections caused by their job requirements. To use the bathroom they had to crawl out of a window, down a hidden path, into a maintenance building, and then into a basement area to use the toilet. The issue wasn't just the workload, the issue was that these workers were meant to be hidden from view, and certainly not allowed to share the same facilities as the owner. That sort of equality is unpalatable to the elite. This behavior is not new and was common among royal courts of centuries past.

- stevewatson301 4y agoThis is a company that takes pride in the fact that during their early days, they had to use shoddy desks made out of doors[1], so this comes as no surprise to me.

- wahnfrieden 4y agothe doors were more expensive than actual desks, because they could only use solid wood doors. it was continued for its effect as a symbol, worth paying for. Nothing to do with efficiency directly.
