Did You Lose Your Job Because You Lost Your Childcare?

Many employees across the country have problems with finding childcare and unless it is resolved in a hurry, it can cause you to lose your job. Typically employees will use up their vacation, sick time and personal days to cure the problem. Your employer is not interested in giving you "more minutes" like a cellular telephone company to help you find childcare. During these economic times, your employer is only too happy to see you use up your time in this way. Recently, an employee of the Department of Children and Families told me her supervisor recommended that she stay home to be with her children. Have you experienced childcare problems and how did you resolve it?
