[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Nannies should not have to work if the snow is bad enough to shut parts of the city down."

It's a big metro area and this board covers a wide area. Work conditions in downtown DC and metro status may not be relevant to a family living in Gaithersburg whose nanny is 5/10 minutes away. Also after the horrific disaster a few years ago of people getting stuck for hours heading home at rush hour, the feds are a bit more conservative now and if you are not in DC then fed decisions based on commute factors are again not relevant.[/quote]

I understand what you are saying, but I cannot think of a better unbiased party to base the decision off of. If left up to many employers, they will have the nanny come in no matter what simply because to not have her come is inconvenient. It is a rare boss who puts the needs of their employee above their own convenience, and I'm sorry but I'm not willing to leave my safety in the hands of someone else. We go by the federal government, and I have made it clear that if my bosses feel it too dangerous for them to DRIVE to work(teleworking is not driving to work), do not expect me to do so. [/quote]

Exactly! I freaking HATE this type of attitude of MB's. Give your nannies a break! If you don't have to go in, then she should not either. [/quote]
