Boss pressures 20-year-old student worker to stay late, immediately backfires: ‘[That’s] why there’s a high turnover rate’

Student workers are already juggling too much to be treated poorly. Folks who need to earn money to pay their tuition or other school-related expenses have a hard enough time as it is. These students need to budget the time, energy, and resources to attend class, do their jobs, and somehow complete their homework as well. Any college-aged student who manages to pull off this kind of multi-tasking feat should not be messed with either.

What these folks deserve is a proper acknowledgement for how difficult it is to take on all this work. That acknowledgement can come in the form of legitimate support and understanding from professors, bosses, and school administrators. Unfortunately for this 20-year-old student worker, he was met with unnecessary pressure from his new boss! Keep scrolling through for their tense exchange via text and for the outraged and unnerved reactions from various members of the online community.

It’s also worth noting that this boss clearly does not know how to send a concise and clear message. Who wants to take orders and pressure from a boss who is unable to express their expectations with clarity and precision? It seems as if this 20-year-old was more qualified to take on that managerial role than his own employer.
