Hatke News: A few days ago, the news of giving a monthly salary of Rs 45 thousand to a domestic help in Bengaluru had gone viral. People were surprised to hear this much salary. But now another news has shocked everyone. A couple has hired a manager for household work and is paying him a salary of Rs 1 lakh every month. The owner of the house himself has shared this on social media.
Salary of 1 lakh to home manager!
Aman Goyal, an IIT Bombay graduate, and his wife Harshita, an IIT Kanpur graduate, have hired a home manager to handle all their household chores. His salary is Rs 1 lakh every month. Goyal, founder and CEO of GreyLabs AI, said, ‘My wife Harshita and I both work. Handling household chores had become a challenge. That’s why we hired a home manager.
What work does a home manager do?
According to Aman Goyal, home managers do all the household work themselves and also get it done by others. They do many household chores like cooking, cleaning, repairing, bill payment, buying groceries, etc. Goyal told that he also takes care of the responsibilities of other employees of the house.
Goyal lives with his parents. Due to not being able to take proper care of the house and parents, she has hired a full-time home manager. He uses this time to improve GreyLabs AI. The home manager who has come to Goyal’s house, earlier used to work in a big hotel. Goyal wrote, ‘We give him Rs 1 lakh every month. Maybe it’s too expensive. But we value our time and can pay Rs 1 lakh per month to the home manager. That’s why we hired him.
Goyal’s post is being criticized a lot. Some people have opposed Goyal’s post. He commented, ‘Don’t pay this much salary to the home manager. Don’t waste investors’ money. To this, Goyal replied, ‘We are not wasting investors’ money, but are paying salaries to home managers from the money received from the sale of the previous business.’ At the same time, some people have supported this step of Goyal. He has said that he and his wife Harshita have hired a home manager at a higher than average salary to focus on their careers and take good care of their parents. This is a good step.
