[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I left a commitment once and felt awful for it but I HAD to do it for my own professional gain. That sounds so selfish to say for my gain, but my situation wasn't the same. I wasn't a nanny but a one to one aide for a little girl with autism in kindergarten. Her family paid me on top of the meager school pay. They were great and I truly loved the family but the job wasn't working financially. No sick days, no pay on snow days or if the child was absent- you were sent home! The family still was willing to pay me their share for those days but it wasn't enough for me to live on. So when I got a job offer on the spot during an interview at a school for special needs kids, I had to take it. Who knows if it would've been there later. It was a situation where they were about to start winter break so I HAD to give them an answer, they needed someone to start the day they got back. It was really hard telling the family bit sometimes things come up that just can't be put on hold.[/quote]
I should also mention that year there was the huge snowstorm that put everyone out of commission for over a week. That came after my switch but I was thankful to have gotten a salaried position. Also I even told my new boss how torn up I was about the decision to leave the job I was at. [/quote]
