MB owes me an apology

[Anonymous]

It totally depend on the level of "snarkiness" that MB demonstrated in her accusation. If she was nasty about what she perceived as my mistake and I proved that she was wrong and she didn't apologize - I would absolutely demand an apology. I could not possibly care any less if I got fired (I am a very sought after nanny - I have never been fired but am offered a new job at least once a month). However if she was nice about what she perceived to be my error, I would of course let it slide.

You teach people how to treat you - this includes employers.

OP here. I am not afraid of being fired and I am very serious. MB crossed a line and I called her on it - proves with her own words that she was wrong. She definitely owes me an apology. I do not care if I piss her off - I just want to stop feeling pissed off myself.

OP here and she was beyond "snarky". She was a raging bitch.

I am not the least bit worried about being fired either. If I am fired - fine. I would miss my charges but at this point it would be a relief. I know I can get another job with much better pay. But I do love my charges and just want MB to stop using me as her punching bag when her life feels out of control.

Then quit OP.

You are wasting time and energy demanding an apology.

Happily, this is only a job, not a loved one or someone you can't get away from.

If she did something so unforgiveable then move on. No employer is going to want to keep someone with whom they have this kind of relationship anyway.

You will never get the apology you want. But you can leave.

Not true at all.

I doubt that the MB in question even thinks she did anything wrong or that her employee might be pissed at her. Self-centeredness knows no bounds.

OP sounds very immature

I disagree. She is asking for advice. That does not make her immature.

OP you're on here cursing and badmouthing her and showing YOUR true colors. I sincerely hope you are fired immediately because with an attitude like yours it must be difficult to behave normally.

Asking for advice my @$$. OP is a lunatic, with follow posts 9:41, 9:54, 9:57, etc.
Beware anyone who interviews her next and doesn't do a real reference check.

No offense OP, but I hate it when posters on here post an issue, but only supply part of what happened. Or in your case, barely anything.

How can we give you an adequate answer on here not being privy to the whole story?? Reading your posting, it is very obvious we would have to be extremely biased (on YOUR side) in order to form a response.

But if we don't have a clue what all the "back & forth" was over, then none of us have a solid footing to which we can offer adequate advice.

Sorry.

People who make a mistake should apologize - it doesn't matter if they are an employer or employee. However an apology can never be demanded since it would never be sincere and thus negate to apology.

I am sorry, OP, there are a lot of employers/bosses and people who simply cannot apologize. My advice would be to let it go.

I don't think you can ask for apology . if you are unhappy quit and move forward.

[Anonymous]

Just quit.

If my nanny was this demanding and insisted on an apology I might apologize to her but ultimately I would fire her.

I'm not going to pay for drama and finding a new nanny isn't that hard.
