I'd consider this. I have plenty former attorney employers who would do this for me, and of course not charge anything. |

For heaven's sake. This could very easily be a foolish lack of awareness on the employer's part.
The over reactions here are absurd. Treat each other with respect and decency. Talk to each other if something concerns you. Do not leap to the worst possible intent - give people the benefit of the doubt. If the world did more of that and less fuming about perceived injustices we'd all be a lot happier. |
The employer would never have tolerated a "foolish lack of awareness" on the nanny's part nor did she treat the nanny with respect and decency. It works both ways. |
| Wow.... I was at the park... A public place. Someone took a photo of his kid.... I was standing behind her.... he posted the photo online.... can I sue? |

What kind of relationship do you have? Talk to the MB and she'll likely apologize and delete the posting. This is what you want.
Go to a lawyer or get a legal letter, and she'll still delete the posting but you will have damaged the relationship. Their house, their camera, their child, probably very little legal recourse for you anyway. MB may even get legalistic with you about issues in your contract. And then it's just a matter a time before your current job ends. |
The job has already ended in all but deed because the MB invaded OP's privacy. OP has a right to not have her photo posted on social media by her employer. You are dense . |
| Please just get a new job. |
| OP -- What did you do in response? I feel you are getting some really bad advice here. Are you really up for starting all over in a new job because of this, without even talking to your employer? Because in your next job, there might be a different issue and getting in the habit of discussing your viewpoint (rather than quitting) might be in your best interest in the long run. |
I think I’m giving my notice this Friday. Not just because of this incident, although it does show they have a total lack of respect for me. There are other issues I’ve had, lots of micromanaging via the cameras and unfulfilled promises (said I could take NK out, 4 months in and I can’t take her for a walk in their neighborhood without texting every moment). I’ve just been doing this for 10 years and can’t handle the lack of trust, autonomy and agency. Wanted it to work because of location hours. But definitely not contacting lawyers, may ask them to take it down when I quit but I doubt it will happen. A lawyer is a waste of my time and resources. |
Good for you, OP. I wish you all the best! |
| In your next job, have in your contract that no pictures of you are to be posted on social media. |
| Why are you snooping on her social media? |
It was posted globally. I know for a fact she checked mine because she criticized a photo I had with one of my old charges and made it clear I was not to post pictures of her child. Cool. I won’t and I didn’t. Quit trying to reflect. The bigger issue is her posting a photo of me. Looking at someone’s Facebook isn’t snooping, and her post was public. She surely knows how the internet works (as do you). I wasn’t snooping through her underwear drawer. |
Seriously. Posting video from a nanny cam without consent on social media > looking at someone’s social media page |
You are an idiot. |
