You give your boss ample time to find someone to cover your shift when you need time off, but chances are they'll still forget and bug you to do the shift anyway. This person, u/Nannyneedabreak, definitely gets that.
In their post to r/AmItheA**hole, this nanny wanted to know if she was wrong for the way her boss was treating her. As she noted, she wanted to go to her sister's wedding, and like a good employee, she gave her boss a ton of notice — seven months notice, in fact! That's plenty generous, and not only that, but the OP reminded their boss numerous times that they needed this time off. The OP claims their boss agreed, and even told them to have a good time. So it came as a surprise to the OP that their boss suddenly needed them to babysit on the same exact weekend of the wedding.
When you're a nanny, you're working with families incredibly closely. Sometimes as a nanny, you're the one who wakes the kid up, then you take them through their whole day, and sometimes you're even the one who puts them to bed, too! You get really close with both the kids and their parents. Since you're working with kids, it's easy to let the family you nanny for control your life --- they'll make you feel like you're one of the family. They might not understand why you can't work in the same way a boss at a retail or office job might understand. However, this employee did everything right, and still their employer turned around and tried to guilt them into working.
Next up, this person's boss keeps trying to get them to help out, but their former employee does not care to help them whatsoever.
