I don't even a little bit understand why the "magnanimous" thing to do would be to pay someone else's traffic violation ticket.

That's the price of being an employer. Employees screw up sometimes, while carrying out your business. It was nonetheless your business, and your responsibility. If OPs nanny had not been driving her children, nanny wouldn't have gotten the ticket. Yes it's her ticket, but OP is the employer. OP could rightfully decide that she no longer trusts this employee to do the driving, but that's what her choice is, not whether or not this is hers to shoulder. It is.[/quote]

Good grief, what a dumb response.

Let's break it down. An employee does something illegal, but it isn't the employee's fault that they break the law because as long as the employee was carrying out the employer's business, the employer is responsible for the employee's illegal actions.  :roll:

Um, no.

When an individual acts illegally, they are the only ones responsible for the consequences. If I decide to do drugs because I was trying to stay up all night completing some work project and I get busted for trying to buy the drugs, who do you think should get arrested? My employer? After all, I needed to buy drugs to do their business, right?[/quote]

A simple "I disagree" would suffice. I don't understand why you needed to be rude. I have my opinion and you have yours. It doesn't make mine stupid, and I presented a coherent argument, even if you disagree. That's what forums are about. I hope one of your resolutions is to be nicer. [/quote]
