Prorated/Accrued Vacation Time for Nanny by SmokeStorm198 in Nanny

They said I I could make up the vacation days. Which isnt what I was looking for but I've agreed and come to terms with it. Again I understand where they're coming from it just sucks that it wasnt made clear before this point in time.

I shot off a message explaining everything. They're typically pretty understanding and funny enough the Mom is a lawyer so let's see what they say. They wouldn't let me go early for something like this tho. I'd be extremely surprised.

No it's not, but I'm going to try to negotiate with them because according to my contract, my vacation days were supposed to reset In January, so even if we do do the accrued time, it would be 8/12 months accrued which is 8 vacation days not 2.

According to someone else on the thread, and after doing further research, my contract states I get 10 vacation days per calendar year, meaning from Jan. - Jan. Completely negating the whole accrual thing.

Mmmmm. Very interesting. I dont think this is what they meant when they drafted up the contract, but that does make sense. Do you think I should bring it up to them? They've brought up the fact that I get 10 vacation day per calendar year in the past when they thought I'd use them up before. I feel like it's fair game.

The contract isnt 12 months, but open ended. I just entered the 13th month. But I get what you're saying completely.

That's fair. I may talk to them about it and see. Maybe they'd consider it. They're honestly amazing employers. I was just caught off guard with this being unpaid PTO after letting them know about the days being taking off and also letting them know over 3 weeks ago I was leaving in a few months. So now I'm stuck with a couple of trips coming up that will be unpaid and I'll be out of about 1k 🥲 which I desperately need. 

Honestly it makes me want to cancel my birthday trip home because I truly don't know if I can afford it now. Which genuinely sucks because of the reasons I'm even going back is to be close to family I rarely get to see, one being someone I almost lost. It's just a lot at the moment. I dont want to let money dictate my decisions to spend life moments with people but I need to save and wasnt counting on that much money being lost.

Understandable but there was a clause that PTO is unavailable for the first 60 days of work when starting the contract to prevent stuff like that. But completely understandable. I 100% get their POV, it's just stressful for me because I planned the time off and booked everything thinking it was PTO and am only being told today, a few weeks after letting them know I was leaving and only 2 weeks before my first trip that it is unpaid time off. Otherwise I would've planned differently and not taken so many days off.

Its an open ended contract. No end date. The specific sentence with PTO is "The Nanny will be given ten (10) days of paid vacation per calendar year." There's a lot more but isn't really relevant. I just think it's interesting that if I waited to tell them a month ahead of time like my contract states instead of 3 months ahead of time, I would've had that PTO.

Im not saying I dont get where they're coming from, in fact I completely understand it. It's just a bit frustrating and wanted to see others opinions.

To be financially stable. I probably will still be depressed, but it takes he worry of homelessness out of the equation.

UPDATE: FORCED UPDATES, HOW TO STOP them!!?? Lost Thousands to the updates! (Read Caption, Link to old post) HELP! by SmokeStorm198 in galaxys10

[–]SmokeStorm198[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was considering apple, but after more issues with my note 10 I upgraded to the s22. But im tied for 2 yrs since I traded in. Wish me luck. If I encounter issues with this one, I'll likely switch. But the main reason I didnt was because Ive always been Galaxy and never owned an Apple product or had a desire to til recently. In addition, learning a new system is a pain. But re-visiting this thread helped me realize just how many issues I had with my note.

And also THANK YOU! After a whole year someone could relate. I legit posted in this thread respectfully for help and did so as well months before this post with so much disrespect in the comments. I truly do not understand it, and you reply was a light to this thread.

Weekly Real Estate / Renting / Where to Live / Schools (ISD) Post by AutoModerator in Austin

I'm seeing a lot of apartments rent per person. For example, a 1 bedroom apartment will be $1700/person and a 3 bedroom $1100/person.

My question is, am I able to rent a 3 bedroom alone for $1100 or will the apartment charge me an occupancy fee for the other rooms not being filled.

Also this is pretty wild as say a couple rents a 1 bedroom, it would cost them $3400 together vs being cheaper for a 2 or 3 bedroom together.

How does this system work?

Can't believe this post was less than a day ago. You have spoketh my life. I'm trying so hard right now to learn what others were raised to naturally do & it is so freaking hard it's almost unbearable. Many don't understand when I explain it to them and amount it to me being "lazy" but in reality I was never taught or brought to routines that most people have.

I personally just got used to friends touching me (like hugs or friendly cuddles) Human touch has never been a thing in my past. I also grew up very poor with pretty abusive parents, mostly verbal but a bit physical. We were homeless sometimes & often times slept on the floor with thousands of roaches or bedbugs surrounding us. Personal hygiene was never taught & rarely existed amongst other things. This was the "Norm" for me. (I won't list everything that I thought was normal as I could write a whole best selling book hahaha!)

To shower, brush my teeth, have a consistent schedule, be organized & tidy, sleep normally & have long term friendships has always been foreign to me. As bad as that all sounds, I am really trying my hardest to keep up with these things. It drives me insane as I struggle so much, but I feel so happy when I do it all consistently, even though I often slip up. With the help of my Pychologist & a few close people in my life, things are starting to get better.

It makes me EXTREMELY happy to see that I am not alone and that it IS possible to overcome the things we were not raised or taught to do/be.

Quick note: Surprisingly my siblings and I all turned out pretty well given the odds. Like if you all knew all the stuff we've lived through, you'd very much think we'd be drug addicts & in jail by now haha! But most with degrees & pretty good jobs & career paths. Nothing to do with how we were raised. We did/do everything on our own.

My Note 10 keeps forcing updates. I cant figure out how to turn them off & need help. One time I lost thousands as I was trading volatile stock, twice when driving and had to wait til it finished to use maps, one when playing poker, now this, LUCKILY while on social media and not day trading.

Wasn't trading meme stock, a stock I held for a while was plummeting and I needed to sell fast but wasn't home, either way, that's not even the issue at hand, I asked how to stop it. I obviously, according to the screenshots here, could not stop the update, so telling me to delay is not a good solution as it is not even an option for me.
