[quote=Anonymous]Ahh yes, the narcissist employer....been there, done that

I had to explain that very thing.  You have to speak up for what you need and set boundaries, whether she truly understands or not.  I was working full time, 4 days per week, but still paid hourly.  My employers thought it was okay to keep me hanging until the evening before to tell me if I was working the next day, on what was usually a regular work day.  This was when their work was slow.  I finally just had to say that I need to work regularly, need the money, and others are asking me to work.  I explained the others need an answer and several times I have turned down other work thinking I was working for them, only to have them cancel and then I missed out on any work.  I came into the conversation with a deadline already established for how late they can tell me whether I am working.  If you leave it up to them, they won't be fair.  Just explain the hardship it puts you under, as well as to the other families asking you to work, then say you need to know by 1 week ahead, or whatever time frame you need.

Whether she really gets it or not is not your problem.  State the boundary and then go from there. [/quote]
