My Humiliating Work Lunch: Spaghetti and Half an Egg Every Day

My Humiliating Work Lunch: Spaghetti and Half an Egg Every Day — 1 of 4
1 / 4

I always choose jobs with feeding and accommodation because I have a family of nine to support. I can’t afford daily transport and meals on my salary. Since starting here a month ago, I’ve noticed my employer cooks special meals for her own family but serves us from a different pot. We’ve never had meat or fish, even though she buys cartons of chicken, fish and beef each week. The only protein we get is a boiled egg sliced in half for everyone to share. The provided accommodation is awful too — there are no mosquito nets on the windows, so I end up spending part of my salary treating malaria. I can’t keep working under these conditions. All the staff are complaining. I just hope to find a better place soon.

It's surprising the company advertises staff meals but seems to outsource the best food for the employer's own family.

Assuming employees won't compare plates might be shortsighted—no one should accept being served inferior meals every day.

Consider preparing a budget-friendly snack at home or rotating homemade dishes with colleagues to stretch your meal options.
