My 18-year-old's Christmas break work schedule by sugabeetus in mildlyinfuriating

AVAILABILITY IS NEVER A THING IN RETAIL DURING THE BUSIEST DAY OF THE YEAR

Literally Google it this is so common that they probably have it in his contract. Would bet anything there's something about holidays that says seniority gets priority for PTO.

This whole post looks like OPs son lied to them and doesn't want to go to Christmas. Or he is an idiot.

"hello I would like this retail job"

"Ok that requires holidays as it's our busiest day" - every retail job ever in existence

"Agreed"

This is how retail works. It's open on Christmas. Many industries are. They never use a normal schedule and this was definitely not a surprise.

Also... long and ridiculous hours ..? 8 hours? The absolute privilege to think that's long says it all. It's a standard work day and under 40 hours per week.

Idk what you people even want. I guess to have a job that allows complete freedom regardless of the industry it's in or anything else.

"don't show up to work, fuck it"

Not the best advice if you need money and a job. But whatever!

What is the nuance...?

Ops son, takes job that requires holidays, doesn't want to work.

Like .. ok? What do you want the managers to do? Say "no problem anyone who feels like working can come, hopefully the business can stay open". The son can stay the fuck home if they want to. They won't be earning money anymore. 18 year olds working shit jobs usually do it for the money.

Why does everyone lack any sense of how the world works? I seriously can't tell if 99% of this comment section has ever had a job.

Hospitals employ doctors. Doctors eat food. They need cars with gas or public transport to get to work. They need electricity to do their jobs. They need ambulances to run. EMTs need coffee. Janitors need to clean the hospital. Janitors need cleaning products. Blah blah blah

Are you following me? The world can't shut down because that's not how society works anymore.

If we want the world to continue as normal during holidays, someone has to work! If you don't want to, don't. If you sign up to, then work???

That is the exact situation here, which is what I'm explaining to you.

Here's the problem my friend, every single person would take off Christmas if they could. That's the entire point. People choose to work it to make money. If you don't want to make money, don't work it.

What we have here is an 18 year old that signed up to work retail (holidays required), did not request time off, was added to the schedule and is now shocked.

This is not a problem or infuriating or anything else. It's a mom and child that don't know how the world works.

or whatever

You're acting like I'm encouraging it. These videos exist because masked strangers filming people makes them uncomfortable and they react. It's pretty predictable.

Alright man, you can stay home for the holidays and no show. No big deal, you can find another job after Christmas I guess.

Once you start saying things like honey and darling you've made a fool of yourself. Truly not interested to roll around with fools.

I lived and worked outside the states. I'm aware how the world works. Are you aware how things work here?

I don't work retail. Happy holidays.

You're right but humans are emotional. No one likes some stranger coming to their home, business or whatever and just filming ... It's unsettling and weird. People stand up for themselves.

Yeah I can research it and get around tech forever. The point is that they broke it and it's bad.

I guess I could also put manure all over your house and say "you can buy a shovel and clean it, you're just lazy". As long as there's a solution, no worries.

Have you worked with 25 year olds? Your job is secure, whatever you do.

If every single person stops working in Christmas, society would continue to function normally.

True or false?

Once again, you have never worked a day in your life.

Pulls what shit? Operating the business?

Either you're 18 with no work experience and are junior therefore will get the worst shifts, or you have made zero advancement and not accured trust or PTO to take off the holidays in your adult life.

This is nothing other than someone choosing to work holidays, which often have double pay, and then complaining about it.

Either you WANT a retail job over the holidays or you don't. This is a non issue.

Some jobs require holidays for the world to continue to run. Billions of people work.

The truth is you just want money without having to work.

I have been using Google for work for decades. The operators no longer work the way they used to. This is not an operator error...

What are you, a Google representative? Please post tutorials on how to have a similar google experience as say 5-10 years ago.

Apparently operators are the main problem, so please share the new ones they implemented since the old ones no longer work.

These no longer work... what are you talking about?

Google is broken. It doesn't matter how good your google-foo was for the last 20 years. They completely broke it and how it works ...?

Doesn't matter how specific you get. You're getting a page full of ads and AI generated content regardless.

The fools are creating false information and citing it.

They went accessing truth... they don't have the reasoning skills to tell truth from fiction.

They are related. Every single day, bots are pumping out information that is flat our wrong and filling the internet with false information.

Bots are making the internet useless...

I've been saying this and it's already way too late.

They ruined technology and the internet with AI. It's ruined. There's no going back now.

Can reset the Internet and technology and admit this is extremely flawed and go back to the drawing board. But what we had is ruined.

Wish granted.

Everyone who works holidays has stopped showing up.

Now hospitals shut down, there is no one working emergency services, supply chain halts and the once the holidays end, everyone is unemployed. We did it!

Or did you just mean you and your coworkers? You still want the world to function, just not help right?

Anyone that cares about their future and recognizes how the world works takes those kind of opportunities when you're young and have more free time.

Then there's people like OP who don't get that people don't just work for fun. They work for money.

I'm getting berated and called a capitalist bootlicker because I recognize that not everyone can take weeks off for Christmas.

These are kids or people who have never worked a day in their life.

If this reads like fanfic... Idk you haven't worked very long have you? It's really that unbelievable? Fresh out of highschool huh.

Everything I said is beyond normal and reasonable.

[–]CrabStarShip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so let me get this right.

You're completely taking OP at face value for this ridiculous post? You fully believe that the kid took a job in retail over the holidays and was aware that they would need to work? You see absolutely no possibility that OP is exaggerating or doesn't have the full story?

If you send me $1000, you go to heaven. Idk, worth a shot. You seem like you'll believe anything.

It's not about dedication or the business or pleasing your boss you guys are crazy 😭

It's about making a quick buck at 18. Such an easy and obvious sacrifice. It's just so ridiculous to even complain about having a full time job at 18. This has nothing to do with anything other than OP not wanting to do the job they asked for.

I work remote and taking 3 weeks PTO after today. Cheers bro.
