Yet, the nanny with minimal education and work experience thinks she should get a big bonus because those in a completely different line of work are.

What makes you think you know OP's work experience or education? The fact that you assume she's inexperienced or uneducated says a lot.

My apologies. I suppose it's possible for a nanny to have an MBA and to have worked in finance for the past 15 years.

What is wrong with you? It is completely possible for a nanny to have an advanced degree, and 15 years of experience in her field. Are MBAs and finance experience how you measure the worth of everyone no matter the field? Lol

No, stupid. Those are the employees who are getting the huge bonuses OP is comparing herself to.

You're really very immature and disrespectful with the unnecessary name calling. OP didn't compare herself to anyone. Whenever we talk about nanny bonuses, it is a frequent argument that nannies shouldn't get/expect bonuses because a lot of people don't get them. Bonuses are common in specific industries, finance being only one of them, law being another, and service industries another. So the people who have always gotten bonuses are still getting them. The fact that you at your job in your industry don't get one, doesn't mean your nanny is entitled or greedy for wanting what has always been in her industry. Maybe you can't afford it, maybe she hasn't earned it, or whatever, but the argument that nannies have no right to want or expect one because others, and maybe her bosses, don't get one is ridiculous. Nanny bonuses are not an invention of DCUM nannies.

Not really. Her second-to-last sentence is terrible!

I never said that nannies have no right to want a bonus! OP has referenced a thread talking about people in very high paying positions. Using that as a comparison is ridiculous.

I never get a bonus. Just a few Christmas gifts prob adding to $150 - $200 the most.

I always get a generous bonus.
