[quote=Anonymous]Think about what happened with the class incident. Your instructions your first week were to stay in the lobby while they were in class. So rather than just listening and maybe feeling it out to see if it might be appropriate down the road to sit in your car, you made it your MB's issue. You called her to ask if you could go against what you were asked to do for no real reason (and indeed, after asking and interrupting her day, you sat in the building anyway but only after you we're able to make sure you were entertained).  So what MB has learned from this is that you're not going to be able to anticipate her needs, you're going to be calling her during the day for not important issues, you're going to be more concerned about your own entertainment and comfort than in following her instructions.

That may be all unfair and that may not be how you are. And certainly many MBs want to make sure you are comfortable and entertained too. But generally the first week, they're looking for performance. They're looking for how you're going to make THEIR life easier. Especially if they think they are paying you a really good rate, and you don't grasp that calling her to ask if you can sit in the car instead of the lobby and asking to leave ten minutes earlier really reflects poorly on you, she definitely is not getting the level of nanny she thought she was getting.
