[quote=Anonymous]The dynamic in my NF changed considerably when I  gave notice. My contract required I gave 6 weeks, but I gave 3 months, as they knew since my interview I would be going to grad school in the fall. I thought I was being considerate by letting them know so they had ample time to find a replacement. I loved those kids. After giving notice, they made no mention of it, but began to micromanage me. They fired me two weeks later for a very petty cause and did so in a very cruel and bitter way. This was several weeks after getting a birthday bonus and them joking about calling my grad school to tell them I was a drug addict so I could stay (should have been a warning sign in retrospect). I found out that I was denied unemployment because they lied and said I had left their child alone for an extended period of time (he was 4 and I ran outside to grab something. Took me 20 seconds and I could see him through the screen door the whole time). I feel hurt and they have public ally dragged my character through the mud after 6 months of very hard work for them. Thank god I found a temp job to tide me over. However, I will never work in childcare again. This experience has left me experiencing crippling anxiety and bad flashbacks. Give as little notice as is required of you and beware. Some parents think they are entitled to your life and will turn abusive when you assert yourself. [/quote]
