[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need input from MBs who have been in this position. My mom had surgery and needs 6 weeks to recover. She can’t work and doctor gave her a note. My mom is a full time housekeeper/nanny. She has worked for this woman for 14 years and raised her two children. Currently she helps with housekeeping and with the youngest who is 16. 
Her MB is being a total jerk about her having to take 6 weeks because it was originally only supposed to be 2. This does not inconvenience her at all except in the fact that she will have to cook for her son and do her own laundry and wash her own dishes. 
She is showing my mom that she doesn’t care about her health and cares more about herself. 
Is it unreasonable for her to be acting this way? It was extremely unexpected and of course my mom didn’t plan this but they found some
Thing else during surgery which pushed it to 6 weeks. My mom raised this woman’s children and this is the thanks my mom gets? [/quote]

What do you mean by "being a jerk about"? If you mean, is unwilling to pay her for all 6 weeks that's very different than if she's actually being cruel. Is she live in? Because, if not, why is she even around your mom to experience cruelness? [/quote]

of course she's not paying her. my mom doesn't expect to get paid. she's mad that no one is going to be there to help for 6 weeks. she's saying that she should go back as soon as possible. my mom said she doesn't follow health advice unless its from her doctor. boss is mad because she wants her to go back when she said she was. she expressed how this isn't going to work for her.[/quote]

Look, it’s clear this boss isn’t very nice, but you can’t really have it both ways... If she can easily do whatever job your mom is going for a month & a half, then she doesn’t actually need your mom anymore and is keeping her on to be nice. If your mom performs a necessary service, then she needs a replacement for 6 weeks. In current conditions, that may not be possible without a long term job offer. Also, just being honest, it sounds like she might think your mom isn’t being honest..  Either that she doesn’t really need 6 weeks or that she knew she’d need 6 weeks but lied. That might be wholly unreasonable in the circumstances and given your mom, but it might explain why she’s not being as nice as you think she should be.[/quote]
