[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear you, OP. Many parents really just don't care about their child. It's so sad.[/quote]

I disagree. It's not their child they don't care about, its us and the work we do. They get home and the kid is happy and healthy, and the house isn't a disaster, and beyond that they aren't concerned about what it took to make that happen. [/quote]

That was your job, you got money for it, what more do you want. When MB turns in a report at work her boss doesn't gush "OMG this is so great! I know you worked super hard on it. I can't wait for Christmas time so I can give you a 2 week bonus!"

You are expecting something that just doesn't exist in any job. [/quote] sorry you've never had a job where that happened. I used to work for customer service at a bank and stiff like that happened a lot. I always got bonuses and gift cards and at the end of the year, I was a top 5% banker and was treated to an all expense paid trip to Mexico. Not all office jobs suck or are thankless. [/quote]

I worked in a dealership and in retail prior to nannying.  In both cases, I received holiday bonuses, raises for a certain number of hours and certain level of performance, a gift card for my birthday, my birthday off (paid, but not requested), decent vacation, time and a half if I was told to work the holiday or double time if I volunteered, decent sick days.  Oh, and everyone received a bonus after the numbers were run for the year.

Please, tell me again that job performance isn't noted?  I'm sorry that you have an employer who only notices the negatives, but most good managers/employers give positive and negative feedback.[/quote]

PP, was this before 1990?? It sounds like my parents' jobs but none of the retail jobs that anyone I've known have had was like this!

OP, sorry that you felt disrespected and unappreciated. Hopefully things look up for you, but vague postings don't give us much to work with for helping you figure any solutions out.[/quote]

The bonuses for retail were in 2007.[/quote]
