Yikes. If it's normal for a superior in any company you work for to tell you how to run your personal life, to include the race of the "service people" you need

Yikes. If it's normal for a superior in any company you work for to tell you how to run your personal life, to include the race of the "service people" you need to hire on your own dime, you have some seriously toxic workplaces. I suppose it's okay for Sandberg to also ask you to "come to bed" in the Meta private jet as well? (to be further met with a lack of surprise when you report it, because "half the department" had already reported that they'd shared a bed with Sandberg...) I guess the sexual harassment is, as you say, "what the pay is for"?

Filipino isn't a race. It's the name for people who come from a specific country. We use to rave about Japanese cars or German's work ethic. Same thing here. And service people is an okay term to discribe people who work in the service industry.

  I was going to reply with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_the_Philippines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_the_Philippin... but it came off to me as more snarky than productive, so I did not.

  Telling your employee to hire a Filipino nanny cause they (meaning Filipinos) are service-oriented, and liking Japanese cars is the same? Really? Come the F on, Jesus.

    Praising mastery of specific skills by nationality is the same thing. If you look down at service work might be the reason why another nationality has surpassed your own. People use to look down at nerdy computer work until pay increased and made it cool. Telling your employee anything can be problematic. Best you never speak with them.
