[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]MBs that are looking for any way to get a better deal. They have a pretty good idea of what the market range is and will do their best to pay on the lower end, while also skimping on PTO and sick time by offering lopsided deals such as this one. [/quote]

So what. Even if this is true, who cares. You have to stop looking at things from an emotional perspective that you should get as much out of your employer as possible. What matters is [b]what you actually get [/b]not what % of your MB's net worth is going to you.

If the job's rate is higher than other jobs that this nanny is being offered then the nanny gets to be the smarter one. The MB thinks she is paying less or not paying for time when she doesn't need the nanny while the nanny is making more than she would at the other job and getting an extra 2 weeks off. [/quote]

I'm not being emotional. I pointed out the fact that most of these jobs lacking PTO are the same MBs that pay on the low end of the range. Again, I agree that your suggestion makes mathematical sense, but the fact remains that it is unlikely that OP would come away with more here. She's probably being offered the same or less of an hourly rate than other prospective jobs, but this MB also wants to skimp on PTO. I said nothing about the MBs net worth or OP being entitled to it so direct your usual talking points at someone else because I didn't even go there. [/quote]
