She is stupid enough to bad-mouth her boss in public so loudly the table next to her can hear. She sounds like a dumbass. Venting is one thing, but she needs to have sense enough to know there is a time and a place for everything. What if a parent had heard the girl say she was left alone - they wouldn't know she was lying. And OP should tell her mother - her mother needs to know she has an employee that she can't trust.

If someone was talking about me behind my back, I would want to know to. And I DO know that she doesn't leave her alone because I used to work there. And like I said, she would lose her license. And after being in business for 20 years, there's no way in hell she would risk that.

That girl would have been lucky I didn't give her a piece of my mind and embarass her in front of all of her friends on my way out too.

No, I would think about it and try to decide if the girl was being purposely malicious or just venting about her job. Then I would come to the latter conclusion.

Ignore the people that think you should have been more aggressive and confronted her!!! Nice thing to do in a restaurant where other people are trying to enjoy a relaxing supper!

I'll tell my Mother you say hello!!" then let her weekend be ruined by all of the scenarios going on in her head about what is going to happen to her at work on Monday

Well, as the OP said this girl was straight lying about situations at the job. Situations that would have serious consequences if someone else (i.e. a parent of one of the children that goes to the daycare) had been at that next table hearing what she was saying.

Posts: 18049 (08/29/2009 1:27 PM) Most Mysterious '08 Reply Quote More Recent Posts	as a holier-than-thou person on jjb, i would have made my presence known as soon as i realized who she was talking about -that is, if i was even able to overhear a conversation at a table other than my own. i wouldn't have sat there waiting to hear more so i could have a dossier full of information to present to my mother. i wouldn't have waited and perked my ear toward the slaughter. i'd have chosen to save my mom's dignity and reputation with a clear statement as i stood beside their table. and while i would choose to tell my mother, the boss in question, of the betrayal, i'd feel like hell if i'd sat there and let it go on without coming to her rescue until i'd put down my napkin, satisfied with dinner.

I find that kind of hard to believe. Been there, plenty of times, and I've never said anything to my mother. For what? I defend my mother, but repeating things to her about her serves absolutely no purpose.

When you're in the position of employing people, you have to assume that they're not always going to think you're awesome and that every decision you make is fantastic. That's life. If you're too thin skinned to shrug off people saying shit about you, you're too thin skinned to run a business.

Your mom hired her to help her run a daycare, not to be her best friend.
