[Closed] Chalet Maid wanted asap Morzine

bike storage?

location?

(not that I'm interested, commitments and all that, but I think those things probably could help?)

why the **** would anyone want to be a servant to anyone???

aspirations to work in politics or formula 1 hospitality?

This is a sexist advert.

Is this a commercial ad?

I would have thought it was bordering on the commercial. Funny how the poster only registered today and hasn't made any other posts.

Jeez, calm down folks.
They're not selling anything, just offering some work (makes a change from 'lost my job...' bad news). Most workers in the UK are in the service sector (serving people in some way).
If you're unattached, like meeting folk, into skiing/mtb, and out of work, then this could be a great way to spend a few months - it's how people get good at skiing when Daddy can't fund it.

cooking/cleaning/slaving for some middleclass tw*ts is not my idea of a great way to spend a few months.

sorry.

Well dont apply then!!

It would be a wicked opportunity for the right person. It's more about living in a really good location to enjoy your time off.

hi everyone who has answered,
A)not commercial, genuine ad from a biker/skier
B)why are some people so stupid

Is this a commercial ad?

I'd say so. Although it's advertising a job, rather than a service or goods.

Can't think why they can't find someone locally, though. A student or someone from a local town, maybe. I dunno.

I'd say that a forum populated by mainly blokes over 25/30 might not be the best place to look, mind.

I,m quite amazed by all this negativity! I live and work in France and i must of forgotten how ridiculous some people get about an honest forum post.
Jeez guys, enjoy life and let others do the same, in peace.

Hmm, but Simba, the rules do state " No Trade or business advertising - except bona fide retailers may respond to genuine enquiries from potential customers."

I think that's what a few people object to. Although I can see that it's not really the same as someone trying to get free advertising for their products or services.

Good luck with finding someone!

Amazing responses- so much negativity and inverse snobbery!

If I was a chef skier/boarder and 15 years younger , i'd bite off Simbas R arm for the job, The boarding and skiing locally is great- les get avoriaz and morzine lovely. the snow is the best in years, it's great life experience and yes you do have to work hard, but sure you can play hard too!

Simba I hop you get a good host/maid and ignore the negatives.

Anyway I'm off boarding in Tignes in a week- I hope our chalet slave fits our middle class ****tish requirements. LOL

What bizarre responses to this thread.

Hope you find someone Sue.

Sounds like a great job getting paid £100 to work six days a week until 10pm slaving, sorry servicing, customers. I have done similar jobs in my yoof and would never again. Good luck to you!

I must say I'm surprised at the negativity in some of the above posters. This sounds a good job for the right people and actually pretty much the going rate for such a position.

If I didn't have a family and was also 15 years younger then I would be applying.

Thank you simba for posting it.

Similarly I'd love to do this job, good luck.

.......'slaps forehead'.........

Good luck Sue

What chalet is this for- how many guests?

What are the shifts- 7.30 am till when, and when is the afternoon start?

Changover day included in those 6?

Full area lift pass?

my humble apologies for being
stupid
negative
a inverse snob
and a time waster. 😳 😳

If I had my time again I'd have done this when I was 21.

Not sure it fits in the rules of the forum or why it provoked such rage from the proletariat.

i see you get food and shelter, but why are jobs like this so badly paid. I would probably quite like this kind of work but the pay 😥 Anyway best of luck in finding the right person, and i'll ask my friend if you don't find someone by the end of today as he does this kind of work. 😀

i see you get food and shelter, but why are jobs like this so badly paid.

£100/week is *way* more than I have leftover after paying rent/food/bills so it doesn't seem that badly paid.

indeed

tails, because the middleclasses think it is all the lower classes are worth. 😀

it's a good job you don't have for pay for camera film and processing Barnes! 😉

and actually pretty much the going rate for such a position.

£2/day is the going rate to work in a Bangladeshi sweatshop....no lift pass though

oh so it is actually okay paywise, sorry I don't have any family to support so live in a bit of a economic bubble

Has yours not burst yet then?

Sounds good to me - if I were 21 i'd do it...

It's not like it's Exxon Mobile trying to slip a free ad in is it folks!

if i was 20 again of year out or something i would have done this. sometimes i really i wish i had...

me too, but alas commitments (as originally stated)

Some people just don't get it...

Hope you get sorted Sue and hope it's snowing over there. It's DUMPING here! 😆

Sue- I'm assuming that this is for the winter season and not the summer one? If for the summer I might have a taker for you. I'm a bit confused because it is a biking site you are asking on...

tails, because the middleclasses think it is all the lower classes are worth. [:D]

Calm down dear.

No the lower classes arent worth a penny ton. i'd rather get a hard working polish immigrant any day

It's usually the ' boarding school gels,' who do this kind of work and the noveau rich who are the (ex- working classes)peeps who can afford chalet jollies now a days.
So a little role reversal there Ton 😀

*sighs*
I 'got to know' a few chalet girls in my days as a ski instructor. The were all lovely, lovely girls. Some had ponies called Meringue and daddy paid for everything, some were more normal, all of them were very VERY accomodating.
*sighs*
I was young once you know....

cooking/cleaning/slaving for some middleclass tw*ts is not my idea of a great way to spend a few months.

Probably insulted pretty much everyone involved in the catering/hotel trade in that statement Ton + people like myself who would not regard themselves as slavemasters, middle class or ****ts. I work bl@@dy hard to afford a ski trip

Out of interest, have you ever been skiing/boarding or worked in a ski resort to qualify you to make that statement ?

Would apply for it myself but would need at least another £20 a week (I'm not a slave you know :wink:) for having additional qualifications which may be useful to guests.

If anyone has been put off thinking about this by all the negative crap then you would be missing out.
I worked as a Chalet Bitch in Morzine when I was 31 after I got made redundant. All the people I was working with were 28-40 years old and taking some kind of break from normal employment.

I had a brilliant time, met some great people and got about eight years worth of boarding in one year.
If you have no UK financial commitments then the finances are not so bad, Your wages can go tax free to your savings account, you are fed and housed so you need money for beer and kit. My tips paid for all the beer I wanted, a couple of boards and binding and a complete set of clothes helmets etc.

I even lost 8kg 😀

of course if you feel cleaning a toilet is demeaning - dont bother 🙄

I haven't read all of this. I am trying to imagine what enormously dignified and special job Ton does that he is able to piss from such a vast height on people working in service industries.

🙂

bastid! you'dave posted this a month ago i'dave ripped your arm off for it. Got a lease on a flat now until 10th march. bgger.

Firstly, Sue I hope you find someone I would loved to have done somethoing like this when I was younger.

As for all the moans about slave wages, well I've just come back from a week in Courmayeur (yes it did cost me quite a bit of money but I worked bloody hard for it and i'm self employed so no-one pays me holiday pay) and it was fantastic, 99% of the chalet staff did a fantastic job, they were cheery, efficient and seemed to be making the most out of their time in Italy. They didn't appear to be being sponsored by 'Daddy' I'm sure a few of them would have been and some them were just there between Uni and work or just between jobs, some of them were working the skiing season and were then off to a summer resort to do the same sort of thing. But I have no complaints about any of them, apart from when the chef overslept and had locked the kitchen and we had to wait for breakfast, oh well you can't have everything.

So anyway, if they were getting food and lodging and ski pass, which was £190 for 6 days in Courmayeur and £100 to spend I personally don't think that's too bad.

Phew, thanks to one and all for all your views. Think overall it was positive in the end!!
We are sorted now,
Cheers guys
