Millionaire who treated housekeepers like slaves has two housekeeping positions available

When Varsha Sabhnani's previous housekeepers arrived at her Long Island mansion, they were forced to hand over their travel documents and passports, making it impossible for them to run away. So began over seven years of slavery and torture at the hands of a cruel and entitled employer.

Sabhnani's management style included a number of controversial methods such as freezing cold showers, involuntary StairMaster sessions, scaldings with boiling water, severe beatings with brooms and umbrellas, and some good old-fashioned knife-slashing. On one occasion, she forced a housekeeper to consume dozens of chili peppers. When the woman vomited, she was told to eat them again and again until she could keep them down.

The two women were not compensated for their services apart from $100 that was sent each month to their families in Indonesia, who probably bought their own mansion and slaves with it. They were underfed and often punished severely for stealing bits of leftover food from the trash.

If this sounds like the kind of environment you'd do well in, send your resume to prison...or wait 11 years for Sabhnani's release.
