[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, I'm going to go off on a little tangent for a moment.

This isn't the first time on this board that I have read a post in which someone is advocating giving a nanny severance pay despite the fact that the nanny is being let go for cause. The reason is usually something along the lines of "think about the bills she has to pay" or "she is probably counting on that money." I do respect that in this thread posters have at least acknowledged that OP is not obligated to provide the nanny severance, but in many threads that is not the case.

I'm sorry (well actually I'm not), but if a nanny wants to ensure that she has money to pay her bills then she needs to focus on fulfilling all her employment responsibilities or requirements. I get that some people feel bad about the thought of an employee who might be stretched thin financially being let go with no notice, but reality is that when someone isn't doing their job despite receiving a warning then that individual deserves to be terminated with no severance.

It's never easy to think about someone who might have a hard time paying their bills. I do feel bad for many people who can't cover their monthly expenses, but I don't feel bad when they can't cover their expenses due to irresponsibility on their part.[/quote]

15:19 here.  I actually really don't disagree with you.  I think you hit the nail on the head - its just hard to think about someone having a hard time paying bills, but really, I think you are completely correct.[/quote]
