> I was invited to go to IHOP or someplace like that after we closed. I asked what they talked about and the answer I got was, "mostly work politics" Honestly, I'm surprised at the candor! Were the other employees also teenagers, or were you told this by an adult? I'd somewhat expect that somewhere with such a strong "workplace politics" culture would have been more worried that you'd be a competitor, but I could see an adult being more candid with someone much younger due to not perceiving them as a "threat".
