[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We sued our former nanny in small claims court. She was completely wrong. We won. It was terrible, and I wish we hadn't had to do it. [/quote]
Wrong about what? Quitting?[/quote]

Yes because only MBs/DBs do anything wrong and you could definitely win a law suit because a nanny quit. [/quote]

Most MBs/DBs skirt the law at some time over the course of employment, and smart nannies keep records of EVERYTHING. My employers could have tried to sue me for quitting, but I gave the notice required in the contract, helped find a replacement, and could easily have met the burden of proof for "quitting for cause". Ie. changes to my duties, failure to pay on time, persistent tardiness, etc. [/quote]

That's a nasty generalization. "Most" MBs/DBs do not skirt the law. If that's been your experience then maybe you need to take a closer look at your resume and see why those are the jobs you are getting. [/quote]

I'm not talking about your little circle of friends and neighbors. New flash, you all are not the only people with nannies. The fact remains MOST nannies: are paid of the books, do not receive OT, and are not paid for all the hours they work. MANY: are illegal, are taxed as independant contractors while their emoployers pay no tax on their wages, and are subjected to illegal employment practices. TOO MANY: live in illegal basement "apartments", threatened and blackmailed for asserting their rights, some are even emotionally and physically abused. Yes, MOST meaning the vast majority, skirt the law in some manner, and quite a lot flat out break and ignore it. [/quote]

You realize that just ranting repeatedly about what you believe to be true doesn't actually make it a fact, right?  You just sound irrational, militant, and uninformed.   Amusing and persistent though, I'll grant you that.[/quote]
