[quote=Anonymous][quote]Oh, nanny deb, usually you are wise, but this post is ridiculous.

If someone is fired for cause, why would you pay them severance? Why would give them notice?

"Yes, nanny, we are going to fire you in two weeks because you leave our child unattended in the bathtub and routinely put her in front of the TV while you text on your phone, but hey, have a great two weeks and try not to take it out on my child!"

Come on. That is crazy. When you fire someone for cause, they go that day and do not deserve severance.

As for your example of nannies quitting and immediately leaving...happens all the time. Nannies here are very upfront on how easily they would walk out and no one ever tells them that is in any way bad. In fact, they are cheered for leaving and not giving NF's notice.

Finally, while I agree that nannies should walk anytime they want and NF's should fire for cause when it is warranted, I disagree with your idea of a letter touting "achievements made by the children" since your last review. When you screw an employer, you can't expect something extra. Your last written review will have to be sufficient.

You completely missed the point, sugar foot. Look at the blatant safety hazard in your example, not even close to OPs. In fact, you've given a great example of what is being said. For minor offenses, why are MBs acting like rabid squirrels? Seriously, you equate being late with leaving a baby alone in a freaking bathtub? You don't see a bit of difference in how you might react in the two scenarios? Hint: rabid squirrel mode should be reserved for the one that presents imminent harm to the child.[/quote]

Sugar foot? Seriously? Damn, I'd be annoyed with you if I didn't find that so funny.

The point you're missing is that you don't get to choose how serious the offense is and if it's a deal killer. Yeah, my fireable offenses have to do with safety. OP's may be on time arrival. I can judge her, and you can, too, but that's her thing. So, she sees it as firing for cause and as such, wouldn't and shouldn't give notice or severance.[/quote]
