[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The nanny could have called the employer and taken PTO or a day without pay. The nanny could have called the employer and told her that she could do the housekeeping work that day because she was ill but would like to be able to make up the hours on a different day. The employer sounds reasonable and probably would have been fine with this.

Its not ethical to accept a job that doesn't offer PTO and then come in but not do your job because you don't want to take a day without pay. PTO is a negotiated benefit and not all jobs offer it. The nannies on this board act like they can get away with not negotiating for it but then be [b]passive aggressive and show up anyway hoping to get sent home. [/b] [/quote]

What is it you aren't getting? It's not passive aggressive. It's a matter of not being ABLE to afford to not work. Given the choice between not being able to pay your bills or feed yourself, or go to work sick, a lot of people have NO CHOICE. I'm not going to take an unpaid day off when I can't afford it just so I don't piss you off, sorry. I'll work until my boss tells me I can't. You have no compassion and really should evaluate your priorities and morals. [/quote]
