[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haha OP are you the one who posted on the regular forum about this?  If so, my answer is the same in both places.  Either A or B.  It has nothing to do with being an MB, that's just what I would be comfortable doing myself. I'd be too worried it would put a bad taste in my employer's mouth (nanny job or not) if I waited until I accepted the job to say "oh by the way I'm leaving for 2 weeks".  [b]That said, I know plenty of people who have done it (although not in the nanny world) so I know it is a totally normal thing to do. [/b]

Do what you are comfortable with.  If you're comfortable waiting until you get an offer, just go with that.  I mean, they may let you go, I have no idea, but I suppose if they do, they probably wouldn't have hired you if you were up front in the beginning anyways.  [/quote]

Really? For any fulltime job, vacation time is not a "given," especially two weeks together just a few months after you start. This would be a gamble I don't see many people making. The job could say "no, you can't go," which means, "go, but you are out of a job if you do."

That said, most places know new hires may have previously-planned conflicts early in a job tenure, and would plan around you if you let them know BEFORE they hire you.[/quote]

Yeah.  2 people at my company (they took the vacation time unpaid) and 2 of my friends did it.  Although I suppose my friends could have been lying about how well it went over. But they also took the time unpaid.  [/quote]
