I have worked in hospitality all my life. I started in the late ‘70’s. Housekeepers haven’t got any better, they’re just paid the same now as they were 49 years ago.
I don’t know, my experience of working in hospitality (over a decade ago now, but 15yrs experience in different places) was that the non brits worked harder than the brits.
is it not possible she just found other nationalities had a better work ethic than Brits?
(Which may well have something to do with the character of people who travel to other countries to work vs. Those who stay home)
