[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, did you build in a 2 week paid time off period during the year?  Or more?

If so, please fire the dishonest nanny.  You should have no trouble finding another one

if you did not, then please check your entitlement and privilege.[/quote]

Yup - no doubt you would have been on here bitching about how inconvenient it was that your recently hired nanny was staying home to take care of a sick child so soon after starting.

[b]Who is taking care of her child BTW - did you even bother to ask?

That's actually irrelevant in an employee-employer relationship, especially during a time of crisis.  She's not being honest.  [/quote]

Wait what?

My medium size company has been bending over backwards to support all staff who are suddenly stuck at home full time with kids who have all kinds of extra needs right now.

You are saying someone with a nanny, which is a pretty intimate employment situation, shouldn't bother to know what arrangements that person has to take care of their own children?  Especially in a time of covid?  [b]I find that sort of unfathomable but then I've never understand hiring someone else to sub in for me as a parent.[/b][/quote]

This is uncalled for and you know it.

As a working mom I have never had a nanny, but I'd feel it was crossing a boundary for a potential employer to ask, "and do you have kids? Who will take care of them while you're at work?" Targeted questions about potential sources of covid exposure are one thing, this "but how can you work AND parent?" stuff is another. [/quote]
