[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our employers who risk their lives to get to work, no matter what, get paid plenty for that. I guarantee you. You deserve at least double pay if they insist that you risk your life. It's treacherous outside, especially the side streets. "Even with a four wheel drive vehicle," according to news reports this morning. [/quote]

No one gets paid double or extra to go to a real job. Just fyi. You make it in or you take a sick day or get fired. It's really simple.[/quote]
Your arrogance is astounding. And SHAMEFUL.
Everyone is being told to stay home today, FYI. [/quote]

It makes me so glad I hired a mature nanny with no fear of driving who comes in rain or snow when needed and never tries to get extra paid days off because of bad weather. She has never been hurt or in an accident trying to come into work.[/quote]

I feel sorry for the Nanny.[/quote]
Me too. You have to wonder what kind of background she comes from.[/quote]

I am a mature nanny and have never taken off for a snow day or bad weather either.  What is the background that I come from?  I am from Minnesota (an American of Swedish decent) so I know how to drive in snow and ice and I have always had a very strong work ethic.  I accepted my current nanny position knowing that my employers were both in the medical/hospital field and there was no leeway for a nanny to crap out because of weather or minor ailments.   [/quote]

You have a bit of an arrogant tone to your post, mature nanny.  A nanny or ANY employee that is concerned for their safety and well being is not "crapping out of work" because they want to be safe and follow the advice of weather and traffic professionals that tell you to only drive in an emergency. Just because one comes from a colder climate and "knows" how to drive in ice or snow doesn't mean other drivers that will be on the road know how also.  So you could be merrying along on your way to work with your wonderful driving skills yet another idiot could come up sliding behind you on black ice and hurt you and themselves. So many things could happen including branches and trees etc falling due to weight of ice and snow, or one could very well get stuck at the nf house and not be able  to make it back home in the evening.[/quote]

My employers have to work regardless of the weather and so do I.  That is a fact of my employment.  I accepted it and I adapt - even if it means leaving my house two hours earlier than I normally would.

And yes, most midwesterners are very superior when it comes to driving in the snow and ice - we learned to be.  So my arrogance is well-founded.  [/quote]
