No I don't think they WANT OP to leave instead, I think they're willing to jip OP in order to save money for their own wants/needs.

OP you have every right to ask and they have every right to say no. If you're not happy I'd look for employment elsewhere. I no it's hard when you get attached to your charges but that's no reason to stay at a job.

"Jip" (gyp) is a racial slur against the Gypsies (now called the Roma). You should stop using that term, pp.

How many people associate their use of "gyp"/"jip" with the gypsies? That never comes to mind when I use the term because it is so old at this point that I think it is used as a regular word rather than a slur. Are there even gypsies in the US??

Do you also talk about people trying to "Jew" you?

It is most definitely a slur, whether or not it comes to your mind, 8:57.

Disagree. And think it is quite different from saying someone is trying to "Jew" you.

It is quite different only if you are not a gypsy.

+10000 It is a racial slur, and therefore unacceptable. It doesn't matter if you "think" of it that way or not - that's what it is. So you shouldn't say it.
