[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm beyond annoyed/confused/angry. I have NEVER been fired in the 7 years that I have been a nanny and I NEVER would have imagined that a family would be so low as to fire me over a TEXT MESSAGE? I think I'm more angry that this came out of NO WHERE and that she didn't even give me a warning about this and just flat out said.."we no longer need you". So now I'm screwed out of a job and my weekly paycheck is going down $250. My roommate thinks that I should call her and tell her that I understand however, I think it was really unprofessional of her to fire me without talking to me first or giving me a warning. [/quote]

From your post its not hard to pick up that the MB might have been concerned that you would be overly dramatic, volatile, and angry about being fired.

OP here: Trust me, I would not have been "overly dramatic or angry" if she told me in person. It was very unprofessional on her part to do it over a text message IMO. I was only with them for 3 1/2 months but I went above and beyond for them so it would have been nice of her to tell me all of this in person.[/quote].

OP, you are the "professional" here not the MB. You provide the service and MB pays for it.  It might not have been nice for MB to fire you with a text but professionalism has nothing to do with it. [/quote]

If you hire a nanny you are doing more than simply paying for a service. You have hired an employee, and she is entitled to a boss that understands their responsibilities as such. It is a professional relationship, and professional behavior should be exhibited by BOTH parties. The MB in this situation behaved unprofessionally and does not seem to understand her role as a boss.
