[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They hired him as a hybrid position (singular) of maintenance/counselor. They are trying to have him work maintenance 7:30-4 and then 5-10:30 as a counselor (presumably relieving the fulltime counselors). Yeah. Not cool. [/quote]

No way, that's not reasonable.[/quote]

That works out to far less than minimum wage.  Why are they only paying him 400$ a week to do two jobs when they're short staffed. His conversation should be a request for more money, if that makes him happy, to do the two jobs.  But working 7 am to 10:30 pm as a teenager sounds pretty miserable to me.  I would suggest he does only the maintenance job he's doing which at a 9 hour day is still below minimum wage for 400$/week.[/quote]

-Op here. Thank you. Yes, I have counseled him to request a meeting and be ready to offer ideas like alternating days between maintenance and counselor duties. I also suggested that he ask for more money if he wants it. He doesn't. He wants some down time! He accepts the idea of working 8-10 hours a day and volunteering to help out colleagues when he can and wants to. But they sent him this work schedule on the team slack account and told him it was for the rest of the summer! I told him to screen shot that schedule. [/quote]
