When's the last time you got in trouble at work ( if ever?)

And what did you do to get in trouble? How serious was it?

At my last position a few years ago. I was a part time nanny. The boy (toddler) was very ill and vomiting profusely. His skin felt SUPER hot, like burning. So I called 911. My sis was there with me, and she was watching his baby sister. So I call 911, and they come and take him into the ambulance. I started to get really panicky b/c I get VERY panicked in fast moving cars as a passenger. It is nearly a phobia. I became just really in a frozen state- I did not go in the ambulance with him. I called his mom and told her all about the event, and for her to meet him shortly at the hospital. It is about a 3 min drive or so from his house. So he would only be without me for a very short time, but in very capable hands, I knew.
Well she sent me a horrible email that was so aggressive, saying I 'left him' and that she didn't need to talk to me again. That was actually my last day of employment ANYWAY , so it sucked this all happened on that day. I did not get a reference. While I felt so badly about not going in the ambulance, I knew in my heart he was Ok, and getting treatment... I had even posted here about it that day. People were so kind saying I truly helped him and his life. And that a child's health is above anything. But it was not a positive day. :(

@Coralmist wow-that mother sounds super unappreciative! If you had waited, no telling what could've happened!

@Mardrae Thank you Mardrae. She just kept saying he was 'alone'. But he was NOT alone. his health took precedence over anything, and she just didn't seem to care about that. Ty Mardrae. 🌼

@Coralmist exactly- he was not alone.
