I work as a nanny for a wealthy family. I have guaranteed hours from 8 to 5 every day. Which means I get paid even if they don’t need me and whatever happens I’m at work everyday from 8 to 5. No matter what. Those are my boss’s hours. They’re reserved for his family.
Well, December is a busy time. Everyone wants a baby sitter cause they have holiday parties. I’m booked solid for extra work (after 6pm) pretty much every single day.
Boss tells me he has an holiday party on Friday and needs me to work extra hours. This wouldn’t be an issue but I’m already booked with another family. I tell him to call the backup nanny.
Backup nanny is booked too. Boss decides to tell me that moving forward I should ask him before I book any extra jobs because he might need me. This guy thinks he owns my time outside of the guaranteed hours.
I’m enraged. He’s expecting me to ask for permission to work other jobs!
