[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listen - in the real world - one months severance is excellent for only being somewhere 3 years.  Most companies *may* give one week. You can work somewhere for 10 years and not get 4 weeks severance.

As for the short notice, I wouldn't want to let someone go and then have a them, a possibly disgruntled employee, watch my children either.  Its just a stressful situation to be in.

I'm sorry the OP lost her job, but I can understand the way it was done.  It doesn't sound like they were jerks - it sounds like they were totally nice about it.

OP, if you truly care about the kids and family, take it at face value - they just cannot afford you anymore and they were respectful enough to not ask you to take a pay cut.  Maintain the relationship both sides want and get a good reference to find a new job. [/quote]

I am in “the real world” and a month severance is bare minimum in most industries and low in the childcare and home healthcare fields.  I know I will give our nanny at least two months severance when the time comes.

And no good nanny would ever take out her frustration with an employer on the child.  I’m sure all nannies have been disgruntled with their employers at one time or another during their employ.

But I do agree with your advice to keep the relationship friendly and open.   [/quote]
