We're all very busy people. It's like the older we get, the more responsibilities we seem to have. That being said, there's way too many colleagues in our lives that are constantly complaining about how busy they are. It's as if they think they're the busiest people in the world. Someone needs to tell them that constantly talking about how busy they are is not the flex they think it is. People often think that their priorities are more important than other people, and that's when they take it too far. In today's 'Am I the A$$hole?' post, OP is a nanny who told her boss months ago that she wouldn't be able to take care of her kids the weekend of her sister's wedding, and the boss accepted it at the time. However, once the wedding rolled around and her boss couldn't find anyone to take care of her kids, she flipped out and threatened to fire the nanny if she didn't come take care of her kids even though she gave her a very early heads up that she wouldn't be free that weekend. The entitlement of some parents out there! Scroll down for the ridiculous details.
First off, we're allowed to say no if we made prior obligations.
Congrats on OP's sister's wedding! Clearly, she let her boss know that she wouldn't be available to work way in advance.
