[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The nanny outrage is ridiculous. You are adults. [b]Most adults who work are responsible enough to stay home when they can't work. They use PTO or leave without pay depending on what they negotiated if they are unable to work that day.[/b] Being so ill that you can't stay awake  or are too much pain to do your job means that you are unable to do your job that day.

It certainly doesn't sound like the OP is type who would be angry if the nanny called out sick.

I don't understand why nannies seem to think its perfectly fine to go in anyway to collect the money or not take PTO and then fall asleep not doing your job. [/quote]

You have obviously never struggled or been hungry. The choice isn't always so black and white. I have had jobs without PTO. I also had some pretty serious and debilitating stomach issues at the same time and no health insurance. I would wake up screaming in the night in pain, but not going to work meant not getting paid/not being able to afford groceries/rent/doctor visits. I couldn't afford to not try to go to work. Sometimes I got sent home. [/quote]
Take note, you entitled MBs.
