I've been working in retail since I started working. Customers be wildin' somedays. Have you ever worked in retail? If you have, what always drove you CRAZY from customers?

She told me I'd have a certain number of hours but has still been giving me low ones lately, and this is my lifeline...I've read and heard from other nannies that if they are canceled by their parent/boss, they receive half or full pay ... she has now canceled twice on me in two weeks with no talk of anything. Would you ask, could you do partial payment? I was already receiving lower hours now, despite her telling me a different thing , and while I don't want to appear pushy, I've let stepped over boundaries go before. I have heard if it was a one time sitting shift, then no pay for a cancel, but if the person is with the family on a regular basis she should be paid at least partial for that day ... would you just let it go (once again) or say anything? *I'm already searching other avenues /family as well* less

It occurred to me that she has very rarely been the one to be in the house when someone is present to do some work. In fact, she prefers that I be the one. The technician or provider may not know if a man or a woman will be waiting, which prompted my curiosity in posting this. Thank you in advance for your answer. ~ less

I told her i had lost my only income and cant get grants anymore cause of my grades, and wondered if i could make up the lack of income by having them hire me, i sent the email last friday, i felt it was only fair ... less

I email her and she takes a week to get back if she does at all, and lately keeps changing my morning hours just by a half hour (letting me know that morning)... I asked her this eve. what time to come tomorrow and said she'd get back, and hasn't... I don't know whether to say 'I do need to know the day/night before' or just try to deal with it (I've been thinking of looking into alternate position as well).. what would you do? less

Personally even though I have a very cool job, I still think I spend way too much time and energy on it and this is to the detriment of my house, garden, family and personal life.. so seriously I would find loads to do!

I have been asking about when she will return to work and if (she's on maternity) she'll need me in summer/relative hours. She said again, she'd email me recently and still has not. I have bills and don't make much and if it were her, I'd be returning things she requests or asks/emails. Do you ever confront communication issues with employers, or have ever said what you felt to them? less
