MB fired me but still wants me to work?

[Anonymous]

OP here. Forget it. I know the answer. MB was on the phone today and the guy ( co-worker) asked how it was going. She said it was ok. Then he goes " you don't like her?". She goes " kind of". I did this to get money and help her out. Part of me says the hell with it since she said it while I was in the same room.

Wow don't go back tomorrow. I'd ghost her.

I won't but I just think it's rude to say it in front of me. It's so incredibly awkward now.

Honestly I wouldn't even tell her you're not going back or else text her that since she doesn't like you anyways, you don't feel like doing her favors!

Was she on speaker phone? How did you hear? She knew you were there?? That's awful.

Reliability is HUGE. It's so huge lack of it is a deal-breaker for me. Clearly it is for her too. You said you understood her view point above. Now that she's said it to someone and you overheard, all of a sudden you don't? No. I think you're just embarrassed at being forced to confront how you bungled a job. You want to forget and move forward. She can't move forward because she can't count on you and hasn't found someone else yet. You're being forced to confront your negative. No sympathy here, sorry.

She was not on speaker phone but she was maybe all of 10ft away from me ( a book shelf) was separating us. The other speaker was very loud and I heard the entire conversation.

Obviously reliability is huge. I give 100% reliability in my positions but this one I couldn't. I had to have an emergency surgery that was out of my control. If If I didn't have surgery, I would of worked last week. I already said I have another job lined up and do not want to more forward with them. I do understand her reasonings for rescinding the offer but it's still rude to have a conversation about me on the phone when I'm only 10ft away.

If you can swing it financially, please don't go back another day. People shouldn't treat other people the way your MB is treating you. You're also being way to hard on yourself for missing work due to an emergency surgery.

Sometimes I wish nannies would out their horrible bosses on these boards.

Eh. She was in her OWN HOME. It's YOUR workplace, NOT hers.

If you were MYOB it wouldn't be an issue.

2 cents from another MB.

And once again it's the nanny's fault that the MB was an asshole.

[Anonymous]

Text the mom tomorrow morning when you're supposed to arrive and tell her you're not coming. Say "I guess it won't be a big deal since you didn't like me anyways."

[Anonymous]

Do what's best for you. If you need the money, stay. If not, go. Don't be dramatic about it- you've only worked for her a few days- you barely know each other.

+2.

I concur.

So if you are reliable, show up on time and take good care of her child, you still may have a shot at the job.
Sounds like she might of had a change of mind/heart.

Do not get too excited however because she also may just be using you until she hires another nanny.

It could go either way.

I certainly hope it goes in your favor however.

Good luck!
You have a really good attitude about everything.
