[quote=Anonymous]OP, you need to look at it from your employer's perspective. I've had employees that hit rough patches. I try to be understanding, but at a certain point, it's 1) hard to confirm that their problems are real and 2) you have a job to do that isn't getting done. When there's a productivity interruption due to an acute issue - death of a loved one or some sort of catastrophic issue - I'm happy to give that person time to recover. But when it's a chronic issue like you're describing, my sympathy runs out eventually. Especially if I know you've got support resources - like being married and have a nanny. You're not the only one with kids, special needs or otherwise. Like another poster said, even if it sounds harsh, get your shit together. To answer your question, your employer is under no obligation to counsel you before they fire you. At a minimum, you're doing damage to your reputation that will be very hard to repair.[/quote]
