'You should have thought about it sooner': Nanny arrives at new job and immediately gets sick, boss refuses to give her a day off

Being a full-time nanny can either be the best job of your life or the worst, it all depends on the family that you are working for. If the parents are chill and supportive, you can have the best time with their kids and actually become part of the family. But, if the parents are harsh and inconsiderate, the job can easily become a burden and a frustrating experience, even regardless of how the kids themselves behave.

Unfortunately, the family in this Reddit story resembles the latter. OP (original poster) has been hired to be a full-time nanny for this rich family. Even on the first day, she could feel that the vibes about them were just off as both the kids and their mom were sick, so it wasn't surprising when OP herself got sick a few days later. When she talked about it with her "new boss", aka the dad, he was less than thoughtful and insisted that OP getting sick wasn't related to them. He then continued to demand OP to come to work the next day, completely disregarding the fact that she was unwell.

Scroll down to read the full story, and even read some of the actual communication between OP and the dad. After that, click here for a story of an employee who made a mistake that might cost him his job.
