I am a nanny and have had to take this week off to have a minor operation.

Ainu to think a text or call from my employer would be polite

YABU. I imagine they are busy rather than uncaring.

Sparklingbrook · 12/06/2013 12:05

YANBU, a Get Well Soon card even? Your employer isn't Katie Hopkins is she?

SaveWaterDrinkMalibu · 12/06/2013 12:07

She's managed to text me saying that she can't find the school uniform but no how are u or anything

She doesn't know where the school uniform is? Shock Sounds like the sort of person who wouldn't send a Get Well text.

If she was texting you anyway she should have asked. Sad

YANBU. I had the same but I work for a bigger company. Also my 40th birthday was ignored too!

SaveWaterDrinkMalibu · 12/06/2013 12:12

I thought the same Sparkling

It hasn't surprised me though, quite often like this, I had a sickness big and only message I got was 'u best be back tomorrow as I need to wotk'

Oh no Save she sounds horrible. Do you enjoy the job in spite of the uncaring employer?

SaveWaterDrinkMalibu · 12/06/2013 12:13

Enjoy being with children but have a very strained relationship with mum & dad

Sad. Anyway how are you after your op Save?

angelos02 · 12/06/2013 12:14

YANBU. She sounds awful. She shouldn't be texting you about work things when you are off too.

Thanks Sparkling

Struggling - stuck in bed today as boyfriend can't be bothered to come round and help me out of bed but that's a different post

Oh no. Well have a Brew and Thanks from me.

holidaysarenice · 12/06/2013 13:38

No I wouldn't expect contact from an employer -how are you/or where's the uniform!

Either could be used as harassment in a complaint!

pantsjustpants · 12/06/2013 13:41

I wouldn't expect any contact from an employer either - none at all, including "where's the uniform". Very unprofessional.

However, mine regularly contacts me on my days off or when he needs something but never when I'm ill.......

Sounds like you need a new employer and boyfriend.

YouStayClassySanDiego · 12/06/2013 16:00

Get rid of that twatty boyfriend for starters, he's a dickhead.

Any luck looking for another job?
