I just got off the phone with my boss, and
she just told me that I likely won't have
a job when I am ready to come back from
Maternity Leave. LWTF???? I think that
maybe she has forgotten that its illegal
for her to do that. I am so po'd right
now. But then the more I think about it..
the 10 yrs I have been there, and oh....I
can take her to court because its illegal,
should definitely set her in her place.
They told me that when I was finished
Maternity leave, I could bring my baby
with me to work. Now she has decided that
it may not work for them.. Hmm all I do
for them is cook dinner and drive her kids
where they need to be. But at the same
time, she legally has to have my job
available for me when I am done maternity
leave. This could be very interesting for
sure....
Has anyone else out there had this happen
to them??

Do you work for an actual company or a
person? What do you do?
I would be extremely mad, especially if
you gave them 10 years!!! I am so sorry.

I am a Nanny for these people. BUT... the
father owns his own business in the
basement of their home and I am pretty
sure that I am filed under his business as
an employee. But from what I know, it does
not matter if its personal or a business
because I pay my taxes !!!
Should be interesting........ and yes I am
livid!

I think thats discusting... they cant do
that, espeshily if you have been with them
10years, having a baby isnt an illness.
they shud have the job for you when u go
bk, or even if u are willing to take the
lil one to worm with you.
maybe they are concerned that you will
give more attention to your baby than her
children thats what she might be worried
about.
wot she doing while ur on maternity
leave>?

She is staying at work. She has summer
sitters lined up.
They are the ones who told me I could take
my baby to work. I only work 3.5 hours per
day. So, its not really even an issue.
Plus the kids are 15 and 10 in the fall
they do their own things now. So, there
wouldnt be much more attention to my baby
or them as they just go about their own
business. My job is.. making sure the kids
do their homework, making dinner and
driving the kids where they need to be.
So.. all in all nothing major at all.
I think that she is po'ed at me because I
stood up for myself the other day when she
hired me to take care of her daughter for
the night, and then dumped her friends kid
on me to take care of for free and I told
her that I wasnt doing that, I had no idea
the other child was even going to be
there. I found out when she arrived. I
wasnt impressed and I told her that I did
not care who paid me, but that she was
going to make sure I was paid my 7 hours
of work for having her. My boss knows I
would have had no issues taking care of
her, had someone at least asked me if I
didn't mind. But nothing was said to me at
all.
Anyways, I just looked it up in the Labour
Standards Code for NS, and she does have
to bring me back to work when I am ready..
So, we will see what happens.
She told me that if my baby is sick or
that if I have to take the baby to the
doctor, it just wasn't going to work for
her. Seems to me that she had kids, had
the same things happen and she still has
her job. I am just so fed up. I wouldn;t
be surprised if my doctor puts me off on
Stress leave Wed when I see her. Cause I
am definitly stressed and I sure did not
need this 5.5 weeks away from being due to
have my first baby. If only I could write
the words I feel about her on her right
now!!!!!
