[quote=Anonymous]I worked for a family for about 2 years, not only as a nanny but also as a housekeeper and managing the house. I worked long hours and had a flat rate paycheck, regardless of how many hours I worked, on Fridays I worked 16 hours straight, they went out after work to have some fun, no extra pay for me. Parents were nice but as employers they sucked badly.

During last winter, I was working 12+ hours  daily on snow days, taking care of 3 spoiled brats all day long with no breaks and again, no extra pay, while the parents were shopping online and pretending they were working. I'm scarred for life now.

I did everything they needed me to. I did try to talk about my discontentement with the crazy hours, my problem was never solved because they only thought about themselves so I had to do the same and think only about myself.

I quit that job and left. Now my problem is that even though they say they loved me and wanted me to stay, they won't give me a positive reference because they feel betrayed and they also said they would do anything for me not to get a new position. I mean, wtf is wrong with people!? [/quote]
