Noticed a theme? We're featuring especially rude employers this weekend!
This is a question about money due. I have worked for my boss for 12 weeks. Her housekeeper took a week off. I am not a house cleaner, never said I was and was never asked to be. While the housekeeper was away, I did more than usual because I have two small children to look after so the floors have to be clean, the bathtubs clean, etc.
On Thursday morning I came in and made my toast. There was bread sitting on a bread block with a knife like always. Cut to later that day I am in the ER with severe stomach pains, diarrhea and vomiting. I thought it was the flu, but it turns out, it was salmonella poisoning because little miss shit for brains made chicken cutlets on the counter last night and didn't wipe the counter up or anything. Her husband also had the same thing but because he is who he is, had a doctor come to his office.
SO, I have health insurance that I pay for and carry myself. I also had to leave work at 2. I called the mother over who came to sit with the kids. I was shocked at my boss's nonchalance. She told me I was nuts if I thought she was "scrubbing counters with comet before she headed out for a ten hour day". No apology. Nothing. The fact is, her older son (3) eats toast for breakfast almost exclusively. She didn't even ask if he had any or if he was sick or anything. As it happens, he wanted oatmeal. I am shocked at her carelessness and total disregard. She also told me, "We're just lucky my mom was able to come over" as if what? If she couldn't I would stay there vomiting?
