My teen got her first job at a local surf shop which she had always wanted to work at. Well things went south quickly. One of the supervisors is very nasty, attitude wise and was always yelling at the girls. They all hate her. My daughter was working on her 5th month there and had to call in sick, vomiting all over. So much so that I stayed home with her. She texted her supervisor that morning, early. Around noon the other supervisor (the B) called and wanted to know why my daughter hadn't called in, so she said she texted as all the other girls do. The B told her she needed to call next time. ABout 1pm her supervisor texts and says she will need a Dr's note.
When my daughter tells me this I go off of course, it's too late to get into a Dr. for the day and she can't return to work without note. I call and the B answers, she is rude as usual, so I dismiss her. I end up texting her supervisor and explain it's 1:00 and I can't get my daughter an appointment, I am here and stayed home with her because she is vomiting so much, she is not faking it. After an hour she texts back that she will accept that THIS time.
Next day my daughter goes in but ends up coming home early, still sick. Her next day at work she goes in and the B pulls her aside but others can hear this and tells her I don't know what you are doing but you aren't working, you didn't do anything yesterday while you were here if your not going to work just leave. The other girls that work there heard this and tell me that my daughter was working, she wasn't being lazy or anything.
I told my daughter to give notice that Mon would be her last day, I was fed up. She had meeting with her supervisor and told her it just wasn't working for her there and supervisor said she understood. I was at the surfshop and spoke to my daughter after this meeting and she told me her supervisor said she understood.
We had a family issue so I tried to call supervisor yesterday, no answer, I called this morning and told her supervisor it was supposed to be my daughters last day but we had a family issue and we needed to go out of town today and she says "Was today supposed to be her last day? I wasn't aware of that?"
WTF I know she talked to her, I was there.
I feel for the teens working there they are so miserable but scared of the B, I didn't believe half the stuff my daughter told me but now I do.
They gave one girl a raise after working 2 weeks, for staying 45 minuts late one day when there are girls that have been there years and are great employees and come in early and they still make minimum wage.
I guess when you have teens working for you that somehow gives them the right to treat them horrendously.
I know some may think I am just giving a parents view but I have heard this from all the girls working there and 4 of them want to quite as well.
