Manager schedules 17-year-old worker for 3-9 PM shifts Monday through Friday, despite her getting out of school at 2:30 PM: ‘I work 10:30 AM-7:00 PM on weekends.’
She’s way too overscheduled for a high school kid. If there’s one group that is easy to take advantage of in the workplace, it’s teenagers. Sure, there might be pesky child labor laws keeping bosses from treating them like late-19th-century factory workers, but the ethos of that era still often rings true. I remember the first …
