Reminds me of a lifeguarding job I had at a private lake club when I was a teen. They let me report and set my own hours. I never abused that trust, but it was pretty strange when my boss explained that they'd pay me for however much I chose to work during daylight hours (the lake was "closed" after dark.) I did end up working a few very long days on holidays for the extra cash.
- nostrademons 4y agoI do wonder how many of these are honeypots to see which workers they'd like to invite back next year. It's pretty well-known that the point of an internship isn't to actually accomplish any useful work, it's to determine which students you would like to extend an offer to for full-time employment. Not a large leap to assume that a lot of adolescent employment follows this pattern. The wages you'd pay a teen are chump change for most businesses, but responsible, intelligent, trustworthy employees basically disappear from the job market after their first job (because everybody wants to keep them), and so it can be a great investment to identify, vet, and introduce yourself to them before they're on the open market.
