[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 626694, member: 1550"] Tell Marina for me that it really socks how fast they are firing/hiring people these days and that she is not alone and her board auntie is very proud of her. If this were my kid, doing as well as she is, I'd do exactly what you are doing...comforting her and giving her a booster. I may even give her a few bucks, which I do sometimes with my PCs (not sure this a good habit, but I do it). The economy is terrible and the employers are taking shameless advantage of it and there is no longer loyalty to even the hardest workers. Julie used to be a really hard worker and she would end up quitting because the managers would give her every horrible hour that existed, knowing she'd show up, and then yell at her when her hard work didn't turn out 100% the way they wanted it too. Many phone calls to me in tears. Julie is emotional and sensitive and her feelings get hurt easily. I hope Marina is less sensitive than she is. As a pastry chef, it was a nightmare as the two women over her (two chefs) were jealous because she was so talented and was moving up too fast for them, but in the end she couldn't take it and quit when she got pregnant. That was ok with her SO, her father and with me. She was working ten hours a day, six days a week and on salary so she only got thirty hours pay and no benefits and couldn't join the union. It's just a horror show out there. Hugs to your wonderful, brave daughter from me!! [/QUOTE]
