“My teenage daughter has been working at her job for over a year,” writes Diana Park. “She started at minimum wage, at a time when they were incredibly short-staffed. And she’s always been willing to jump in and help and take on work beyond her job description, and she often fills in when others are sick. But after a year, she saw they were hiring and paying new hires more than they were paying her.” She wanted, so badly, to march into her daughter’s job and say something to her boss. But she didn’t because that would teach entirely the wrong lesson. So today she’s talking about what she did instead, and why — and the absolutely vital lesson her kid got out of it. I bet it’ll be helpful for the next time you’re thinking about how to support your own kid. Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor |
