Good grief. Some people really need to get a grip and have thicker skin. Two things I would expect for a family of 5 with 2 homes in DMV. Also, this is hardly the meanest thing ever posted on DCUM ![]() |
+1 Sounds great for a college kid who is doing distance learning. |
Absolutely not. But usually it’s the recipient of the hatred has actually participated ok DCUM or is a celebrity. Imagine finding this if you were the poster of the ad. Seems very unkind. |
These people are insane if they think they will keep someone without paying for the month of October. You are insane to think anyone actually qualified would accept this position. Now if they want to hire a teenager or college student, then you’re right, that’s a perfect fit. |
Poor au pair thought she was agreeing to work with two kids, in DC.
Now she’s got coronavirus, three kids, living in makeshift house in Maryland... |
How could you do synchronous classes and not be available 1-4 pm M-F? |
I would expect the poster of this ad to be so out of touch and entitled they wouldn’t think anything of the comments. They would claim jealousy and confusion. |
Meanness |
We know the family’s situation. They made sure to put it in the ad. If it meant nothing then they wouldn’t have mentioned it. Simple. |
Have you seen college schedules? You could do your classes in the morning. It’s not unheard of. They’re also advertising that the hours are flexible. I mean it really doesn’t matter. |
They've learned a lesson and maybe they and their mom friends living in $1M dual-homes will stop posting ads for less than minimum wage when taxes, expenses, and benefits are stripped. |
OMG. They are just explaining the location changing and October off. Do people here not have anything better to do? |
I wouldn't care. I'd have better things to worry about like my soon to be 3 kids, a renovation, and affording someone to teach my preschoolers 15 hours a week. |
Its child care. Most child care workers make minimum wage. Be real. That is far above minimum wage. |
Most part time jobs don’t carry any benefits at all. DCUM is so out of touch. |
