Ok, so how they treat their employees sucks. Now comes the famous but.
Why did she take a job she could not afford - from what I understand she's making a monthly loss of $700 + groceries, gas, etc. Why move to SF, to take a sales job you can't afford? More importantly, a job you knew would be making you an unsustainable loss before you even took it!
With a kid in tow this just seems irresponsible.
Now you can talk about career development, the american dream etc. but at the end of the day, you don't take a job you can't afford.
Now I'm not saying you can't take a job where you are loosing money so you get experience/references/career opportunities, (here comes that but again) BUT only if you can afford it. Yeah, you missed that "opportunity", but others will come along.

If you don't think you can get into a top school, another way to find a way up the ladder is to find a position at a top start-up you believe will lead somewhere better. $1k/month for a year whilst building experience is a cheap way to get yourself into a position that might pay $100k/year if you work hard, especially compared to college. Stop blaming her. Look at how Yelp behaved.
- stedaniels 11y agoNot sure why you're being downvoted. In my mind also, her early risk of a low salary is equally equatable to the up front investment of college/university.
- shultays 11y agoImho, if you are a single parent, maybe you should postpone collage too. She was losing at least $1700 a month.
