'All the cakes melted and I was fired': 16-year-old mercifully fired from a toxic frozen sweets shop after following the contradictory orders of 2 bickering managers

Your first job is a crash course in the workforce, and usually by "crash," I mean you're doomed to crash and burn somehow. No teenager is just born with the work ethic and the business perspective of their older counterparts, so when company drama unfolds, it's their first time navigating this type of thing. 

This teenager learned quickly how important it is to communicate with both your schedule manager and the owner of the company. After getting caught in the crosshairs of a nightmarish communication scuffle, this teenager was spared the continued employment under inefficient and under-qualified managers. Lucky for them, they were taught a valuable lesson in the workforce before getting set free to find a new job under better managers.
