Talking a bit about legacy things....
The effects of some of the titles have not changed at all since, at least, Vs 8.0, possibly earlier. And from my point of view don´t fit really with a household of the size we have now. May be they make sense with a 2 slaves household (something that changed in 0.78 when you can build " the Annex" and increase to 4), or with the 9 slaves household that you get in version? 0.81? (and even them starts to seem short to me) but now...
from wiki
Probably the most revered title of all. A head maid has responsibilty over all other slaves, manages the household's economy and eases many of the burdens from her Master.

If you read the description, seems something really important. May be as important as the accountant, or close to him
But the difference, between having a top notch 60+ domestic skill Head Maid or having a clueless (below 20 skill) head maid or a moronic (below 30 INT) head maid (or both, moronic AND clueless) it´s, all in all, 8$. That can be something in a two slaves household, but in a 60 people household is less that a fart against an hurricane. As far as a Head Maid has Discipline +60 and it´s not Malevolent, it´s fine. Work-alcoholic may be a bit of an extra, but even this, just +4 influence it´s not a big deal.
Somehow, seems to me that the effects of the Head Maid should scale with the size of the household. May be by increases of 10´s? A Domestic 60, reduces the maintenance by -3 in a 0-9 people household, but in a 72 strong one, he reduces maintenance by 21.
And may be the influence boost of a work alcoholic Head Maid may would be +4, and +4 extra (or +2, or +3, I don´t know...) for each slave assigned ?
I don´t know exactly how can be adjusted, but the current description don´t fit at all with the bonus of the head maid. It seems a legacy thing that have not been updated since really really long time ago and have become obsolete.
