Two week notice question and other stuff

lala2007 · #1 June 4th, 2011, 09:39 PM

Okay ladies so you all know I despise working at the daycare my cousin is director of and its my church daycare. I thought I would get a raise but she has not done an observation nothing. Another worker has been there longer than me and no raise. 8.00 an hour is not workin. I am also tired of how my cousin treats me and how she dumpd loads of children on one person. Children need one on one not a room full of screaming kids! Besides this is my question!

Most of my coworkers do not know that the director is my cousin so they told me how when someone puts in their two we2e2k notice she will not let them carry it out. A. Co worker recently quit without giving her a two week notice because of how my cousin goes about things. What should I do if she does the same to me? I just want to go somewhere where I can be happy. I will never work for family again. Especially when they think you want their job. She also recently asked me to be a Vpk teacher. No talk of a raise or paying the classes.

Sorry to make this a long post but my sister really got to me lol to me today. Me and kenzie were at a friend's family gathering. My sister text me and asked would I watch my niece (who does not listen to me) I told her no because I am tired. ( I try lol to teach 11 2 year olds) all through the week. The weekends are mine. So she gets mad and tells me that I will have to find a ride to work and other immature stuff. I asked my sister last week could she watch Mckenzie she said no. I also loaned her 66 of my rent money but she still act like the world owes her. She is 26. Why cant4 we pick our siblings?

I have seen it be pretty common for some places to not allow a person to fulfill the 2 week notice if they are in a job that is easily replaceable. So I wouldn't put it in till you already have a start date with your new job and see if in the event they don't let you finish your two weeks would let you start before that. But if they do then have a start date for after the 2 weeks. Yup I will never work for family again. BTDT and just not worth it. Both DH and I worked for his parents and it all ended very badly.

Yeah sibling suck sometimes.

^^^Ditto!

As far as the rent money goes, I've learned to never loan anything out. Instead, if you're willing to give it out tell yourself it's a gift, not a loan. That will make it easier for you if it doesn't get returned.

Oh yes I never borrow money out expecting to get it back and I never dip into our bill money to do so. Just as I never borrow money and never repay it back. Money can ruin relationships real fast.

My sister paid the 66 back but she always thinks someone owes her something. I am not going to watch kids on the weekened that's my time with my daughter. Yes family is a no no. I feel so burned out from this daycare. I don't want to go back tomorrow I just want to quit but I have to think responsibly .

IMO, in this economy any job is worth hanging onto unless and until you absolutely have another one lined up. It's so sad to see how many people are unemployed in this economy. Anyway, the short of it is yes, you have to think responsibly. No matter where we work there will always be someone or something that gets in your way of being happy. Just keep your head up and keep pushing through. Always remind yourself "this too shall pass." My previous job was my DREAM job at a firm that most work their entire careers trying to get into. I had a wonderful title, income, respect, etc. BUT there was one jerk-off who had to ruin it all for me. It's amazing how just one person can really change your reality and make your dream feel like a nightmare. Everyday I had to just push through it. In the end, I had to remind myself of who I was and who he was. Nevermind that he was my superior, I knew in my heart I was the bigger person...and when it's all said and done that really is what matters most in the end!

Thank you Miranda you are right. Its so hard to find a decent job. My friend is looking for one now. Today she caught an attitiude with me because I asked nicely where were the snacks she said wherever the snacks are. Just really unneeded attitiude. I will miss my kids.
