[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is she home, behind the closed door? Tell her to come out and have a work day, and she gets a day off later in the week. Does she know you're sick? I would seriously FIRE an au pair who let me take care of a 3 year old while I was sick as a dog. What kind of work ethic does someone like that have anyway?

Knock on the door. Be her boss. Tell her you need her to work today because you're sick.[/quote]

If you’re a manager, Pp, you’re a bad one.  This is the employee’s first DAY on the job and her scheduled day off.  OP can ask but never, ever demand.  That serves absolutely no one.  [/quote]

I'm so proud of my kids. I taught them to have a good work ethic but I wasn't sure it would take. The first day on my DC's job there was a flood and the bosses had to drag a bunch of dirty wet things out of the basement and mop. Not my DC's job. But they jumped in and started doing the work anyway.

The AP doesn’t even know her boss can’t handle it!  She moved in yesterday.  I expect the best from myself as a boss and that includes respecting my employees.  [/quote]
