15-year-old employee is fired after refusing to work a 14 hour shift with no break: 'I couldn't handle working 7am-9pm my first 2 days of having a real job'

When you're first starting a job, you never know what you're in store for. 

Working a 14-hour shift is no joke, no matter who you are. It's not something that should be approached lightly. You need the proper training, breaks, and overtime pay. It can take a huge toll on your body, no matter what it is. Whatever it is, you should be supported in it. And you probably shouldn't do it if you're a teenager, especially starting out. You don't want to burn yourself out, and you likely have other activities like school and extracurriculars that you should be saving energy for. One young worker learned that the hard way and found themselves losing a job they didn't want to lose. Commenters, though, assured them that this wasn't a job worth keeping in the first place. 

Do you remember your first job? Maybe you were a teenager, trying to make a little extra scratch for the summer. It's a good way to develop working skills and start your journey in the world of employment. But when you're young and starting out, it's also easy to be taken advantage of by the people you work for. You might not know better, and they're counting on you not to stand up for yourself. This is why it's important to run things by the people in your life, and even people online, to compare your experiences with others.
