House girl job in Egypt
The lady who shared her experience on Thursday, March 27, said that her relationship with her female boss turned sour very fast.
She mentioned that the woman treated her nicely when she first arrived until much later when she started showing her “true colour”.
When the Nigerian lady’s face cream finished, she requested a new one from her boss, and the woman told she was also not using cream.
The lady says her boss treated her badly.

Working in Egypt
A photo the house girl shared showed how her face looked rough and darker, with acne spots. That became the beginning of her work struggles as the place became very toxic.
During her stay in Egypt, the lady had an opportunity to see her family. She talked about not wanting to go back to work. She, however, mentioned that even though her boss was bad, her kids are lovely.

“What work exactly do people do there? Domestic work or what? If it’s just house chores, why do people complain about it always? What else is involved. Just out of curiosity.”
