[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thee must be a lot of worker bees on this thread. No vacation for that teen! No matter what !![/quote] And they wonder why america is slipping lower and lower and lower[/quote] I agree, but not for the same reasons as you do. That we prioritize work over all else is really sad and leads to a lot of burn-out and health problems. That's a fact (google it). The kid is in HS. Yeah, she should have said so upfront but this is hardly the end of civilization. And, I doubt her position - or most people who work nonstop- is solving world peace or poverty. Jesus, even the presidents of the US take vacations (albeit they probably work). You're not that important. Neither is this kid. But, family time is. She should talk to her employer. Frankly state that she messed up by not asking upfront. Then go from there. If they wrinkle their noses, offer to work extra the week before or after and she'll have also learned a valuable lesson.[/quote]
