[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would hate you as my employer if you were home and able to drive to pick kids up in the pouring rain but made me and your baby walk.

The circumstances matter. Do you or spouse wfh and it would be logistically possible to do the rainy day pickup? Or are you and spouse working in office and it would mean leaving work to do so? If my bosses were at home and sent me and baby out in pouring rain when it was a short drive they could easily do, I would be eventually looking for a new job because people who are that inconsiderate would be awful in other ways.

If the parents are not working at the home, it would stink, but I would just suck it up. [/quote]

+1 are the parents home?  We need details, op.[/quote]

So the dad is a teacher and the mom works a mile away from the kids school I’ll have to walk a mile as well to get the kids. They don’t have umbrellas in the house just a covering for the stroller. I don’t mind walking in a drizzle but pouring down rain and thunder she asked me to do today and said her previous nannies did it. She said “use stroller cover in baby but of course you’ll get wet but you’ll be fine.” I declined because it was thundering and pouring so she eventually went to get them. She got home and I asked to have a conversation with her she immediately started yelling saying “she can’t do this right now” I just wanted to make sure there was no friction because I declined. I asked her to stop yelling at me she said “ I don’t care about this conversation I have shit to do the kids are home leave see you tomorrow.” I left but was so confused as to wth just happened.[/quote]

You should have never agreed to 
1. Work a job with multiple nannies ahead of you  having many nannies is a big red flag.

2. Work a job where you are not able to drive the children for just a situation like this. If they don't have a car for you to use or object to you driving the children you should likely decline or clearly outline what the plan is for inclement weather.

3. Look for a new job. Hopefully you have references from others because you won't be getting a good one from her and  she's the type to badmouth you and try to get you blackisted.

3. Choose wisely in your next position.[/quote]
