TOTALLY closed fridge policy?

[Anonymous]

So within a month, while still working 50 hours a week, not taking any interview calls while working, you were able to give the employees the due notice AND start a new great job? My gut tells me that employers that picky, unreasonable and wealthy (a 4 story brownstone?) would have had at least a three week notice clause and that you broke it. And that’s the real reason they didn’t offer a “compromise”- who would be able to trust you if you give short notice like that. Plus where the fridge is located is not relevant, they don’t have to provide you with a convenient location of a fridge.

Not OP, but what??! This response is insane. I am an employer of a wonderful nanny and I view our food as her food. She prefers to bring her own food, but if she wanted to eat ours, we wouldn't care. And we certainly wouldn't care if she needed to put stuff in our fridge. We love our nanny and want her to feel comfortable working in our home. I can't imagine imposing insane restrictions on her like this.

I took several calls and skype interviews which I scheduled to take while my charge was napping. I don't feel any shame in that as it didn't distract from the care of the child. Most families were understanding of my situation and were willing to meet for in-person interviews when I got off work at 6-6:30 (which works better for working parents anyway) and there was no contract about notice. There was barely a contract at all, only one that I insisted on to cover guaranteed hours and PTO.

Op you do not have to explain yourself to that idiotic troll. Do what is best for you, and leave those weird parents, with their weird demands in the past.
