Stay on the dole!!!!! Same as adults.
Maybe in his own jerk way he is trying to encourage the employees to work hard/strive?
If that's the case, it's not a good way. Perhaps you should encourage her to 'fire' her boss and find another job. That's how I look at things now that I'm older. If a service proves to not meet my expectations, I fire it and find another. If my job no longer works for me I find another job first and then 'fire' my current job. Hey, thay can do to to you - why can't you do it to them????

Ok its a long read but here is the link to employment act of 1996

as you didnt disclose alot about the shite your daughter goes through then you may e able to pinpoint something better than me.
Speaking as an ex manager i found this document in helping me understand what rules the slaves have.
I would like to point out that if you became a freeman then it wouldnt actualy effect your in any way:P

I would think that teenage workers would fall under the same labor laws as anyone else when it comes to work place abuse. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the labor laws actually say about that kind of verbal abuse in the first place. :o I forgot to actually notice if your location is known or not, but here in Canada we have the labor relations board. I'm not sure what we call it where you live, but I would have to assume you must also have a board that looks after workplace rights. Advise your daughter to call or writ a letter to this board. As for going in there yourself and sorting out her boss, as you said, personally I would NOT advice that. I''m not a parent, but I do know that a job is a very adult thing, that a person, not matter the age, would probably want to handle themselves, in an adult fashion. My guess is that she is trying to begin living a more mature independent life, and that's part of the reason for the job. Giving advice is one thing and very helpful, but if my mother had gone to talk to my boss when I was young, I'd have been well beyond angry. Alternately, you could advise her to find a different job, with a less negative and abusive boss. Sorry I can't be of more help in this matter.

I agree, it is far less hassle to just find another job especially at her young age. It's not like it will impact her life as great as it would an adult who must find another job before quitting the current and it would be a good life lesson in handling things for herself and making changes for herself. :)

Im sure your partner wants whats best.You can both keep her under your wings,try not to get under each others feet.look upon yourselves as guardians. Im sure they will fly the nest when they are ready.We all get a few harsh words thrown our way at times.Sticks &stones.Water off a ducks back.Step back and let them see which way is the way forward.
