Movie Theater Makes Teen Work Exorbitant Hours For Thanksgiving Weekend, Her Parents Make Her Quit

If there's one group that is easy to take advantage of in the workplace, it's teenagers. Sure, there might be some pesky child labor laws keeping bosses from treating them like late 19th-century factory workers, but the ethos of that era often still rings true. 

I remember the first day of my first job. I was scheduled from 5-9, and when nine hit, I asked the guy who was training me if I could leave. You would've thought I had committed the greatest social faux pas of all time by how he reacted to that request. In response, he said I leave when my work is done, not when the schedule says that I'm done. Because it was my first job, I didn't know that was an unusual and unrealistic expectation put on me. I had to rely on my parents to tell me what was acceptable and unacceptable in a working environment, and luckily, they set me straight. 

One parent of a teen recently went viral on Reddit after they made their daughter quit her increasingly and unrealistically demanding job. I don't know about y'all, but I think this is a case of A+ parenting.
