18 months and just a bad fit. I stayed with them for this long because I hate jumping between jobs but was offered a really great position with a newborn. NF is nice but micromanage and are generally high strung. I feel on edge because they nitpick everything I do. Also terrible about communicating.

Another MB who agrees... i'm actually surprised this is even a question! Raises, bonuses and promotions are all incentives that employers give in hopes of improving retention and good behavior on the job but in no way create an obligation to continue working there. Continue doing a good job while you are there, give them a good amount of notice, and help train a new nanny if they ask for that. That is all that would be reasonably expected.

MB here, agreeing w/ everyone else that you keep the raise.
I think it's nice of you to consider refusing it, but it isn't necessary. I do think it would be really gracious to give them as much notice as you possibly can when the time comes.

Keep the raise, but OF COURSE employers give raises and bonuses in the hopes that it will make employees happy enough to stay.

Keep the raise. Give the family a little extra notice. I assume you are quitting for personal reasons, not because you hate the job or the family.

Keep it. They gave it to you for your performance, not to keep you (presumably.) Also, life comes at you fast and things might change that cause you not to quick when you think you will.

I received a $1 raise without notice. I’m grateful but feel a bit guilty because I plan on putting in my notice in late February. Would it be wrong of me to keep a raise even if I plan on quitting in a few months?
