[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]None of your examples are relevant. Holding a door open is the same as tipping a server is the same as thank you notes? Crazy. None of these things share any context at all.[/b]

As for your threat that not giving a bonus means a bad attitude, dirty looks, and a lazy nanny, bring it on. You don't seem to understand this economy. There are many more nannies than jobs, just like many other industries. If you want to risk your job bleeding on the hill of your perceived slight around not getting the bonus you wanted (esp when your employer likely did not get an bonus), more power to you.

You won't get farther than the job listings you will need to read to find a new position.[/quote]

Wow you're dense. The commonality between each of those scenarios is that, while not mandatory, are indeed standard and anticipated. Choosing not to do any of them, including not tipping or giving a bonus to someone in a service position. It is a way of showing gratitude, and not doing so will not go unnoticed. A nanny that has been sent a clear message that you feel no need to show your appreciation in the standard and customary way has absolutely no incentive to break her back providing you with exceptional service beyond that for which you pay her for. This does not make her lazy. Why would you expect above and beyond service for bare minimum appreciation?[/quote]
