[QUOTE="klein, post: 1059496, member: 23950"] A whole different scenerio : Well, did my brand ambassador job Friday & Sat at a Liquour store, sampling Rum & Brandy. They hired a new 19 yr old teenager there, just on Wednesday. He showed up 2 1/2 hrs before his shift on Friday, his co-workers basically called him crazy to be in already, but he had a plan to make hot chocolate for everyone, so an act of kindness. His co-workers still thought it was very odd, and sure enough he wanted to start early with no pay, but co-workers wouldn't allow it. Fast forward a few hrs : I see him working the till, how great he is with customers, ect - thinking he is doing an awesome job. Well, before I knew it, - he quit that day ! His mother called in, telling him to quit ! Opposingly he is bi-polar or has some sort of medical/mental health issue that even his co-workers weren't aware of. But according to this worker - his mother told him to quit, because he is earning more money from governmnet assistance than working there - and he would lose that government assistance if he keeps working. - So, he did just that - listened to mommy and quit on the spot. Not sure if "mommy" also gets assistance for him , but most likely - him being a dependant (tax deductable). This kid only had 5 months of work experience in the past - and this job would have gave him even more experience. Sad to see that people stay at home because government pays them more to do just that ! [/QUOTE]
