I live in ny and have a 2 year old daughter i work as a front desk reception and also seem to think i am also an office assistant to all my employees and also the office cleaner when she is not there. I have a babysitter who is not really much reliable and often is late which causes me to be late to get to work after i drop her off. Due to this i get written up for being absent for taking her to the dr and having notes and also being late for the babysitter issue i am really looking to get another babysitter but it is really hard to really look if i come home late and weekends the babysitters are closed i also have a problem with the ones that i found because she is not potty trained and she is not 2.6 years old. I have discussed this with my boss who said she will give me time off to look about a babysitter but then didn't do it anymore and suspended me for taking my daughter to the hospital and then coming to work after i called her. She is also the hr president which doesn't help. she is pressuring me to quit i feel because she is always saying i am gonna give you some time over the weekend to think if this is right for you if you want to be here and if i can handle this type of work setting more than 3 times she called me in her office for this. I just got my 6months review and it was a d she said its not like a d of a grading system so dont worry, but before i got a b+ on my 3momth review. I am so tired of her picking on me when others have the same issue and since i havent been there a year i am at target. I aksked if there is something else in the company she said no but i found out that she is advertising my position and also one for a weekend receptionist she told me if she had something she would switch but she hasnt said anything. I need to know if she fires me for the lateness issues due to the childcare can i collect.
Hi Mummie,
I really depends on what she can prove and what you can prove and from what I read in your account .. you will very possibly have a problem. If she is advertising your position .. she's probably getting ready to fire you.
