Publish Not your original work? Add source A fast-food restaurant in the United States has caused outrage after people saw that it was advertising work to teenagers. Normally, this wouldn't be much of an issue, as there's nothing wrong with getting a part-time job to learn the importance of money early on or helping out your struggling family. However, the current context-many restaurants not finding the employees they need because they're not offering good enough conditions and pay-makes it seem like someone's trying to take advantage of 14 and 15-year-old teens. Naturally, once people got wind of Burger King's 'desperate' ad in Ohio, they started poking fun at it on social media. Some joked about the fast-food restaurant supposedly conscripting kids into service while others pointed out that they're now looking for teen workers because the adults aren't biting. Keep in mind, though, that it's not illegal for teenagers to work in Ohio. But before we get into that, have a scroll down and check out some of the best responses to the BK ad. Upvote the tweets that you agree with and share your opinion about the situation in the comment section at the bottom of this list.

View more comments In Ohio, the state's child labor laws don't allow children who are 13 or younger to work, except in some very limited situations. Meanwhile, 14 and 15-year-old teens are allowed to work in a variety of jobs, but there's a limit to how many hours per day and per week they're allowed to do that. Especially when school's still in session. Meanwhile, 16 and 17-year-olds living in Ohio can work a far broader range of jobs. However, the work cannot be deemed "too hazardous." #4 mahxism Report Final score: 107points POST JessG JessG Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago This makes me angrier that angry!

Furthermore, their maximum hours are also capped at 18 hours per week. #10 Jpaz1007 Report Final score: 77points POST Tracey Hirt Tracey Hirt Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago It’s disgusting that they are specifically targeting 14 and 15 year olds. In Ohio, employers can pay people under the age of 16 only the Federal Minimum Wage of $7.25 per hour, which is less than Ohio’s Minimum Wage of $8.70. This is the point of BK going after the younger kids. 13 13points reply View more comments #11 NobodySpecial_3 Report Final score: 67points POST Carol Emory Carol Emory Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Mine asked me if I could still work my shift after I accidently stuck the first two fingers of my right hand in the fry vat chasing after a hashbrown that fell out of the rack.

However, they shouldn't expect to be earning a living wage like many grownup professionals. There is an exception, though, and that's if they've enrolled in work-oriented programs or are doing vocational cooperative training. In that case, the cap is raised to 40 hours per week. #13 JaneOst_ Report Final score: 59points POST Vasana Phong Vasana Phong Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago The new selective services 2021 edition 15 15points reply View more comments #14 shiva_kai Report Final score: 57points POST Nyneva Kyte Nyneva Kyte Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Yup.

The only thing is that they cannot be working during those hours when they should be at school. What's more, they can't start work super early if they've been working very late, as they're still growing and developing, so sleep is essential for them. #16 KaelArts Report Final score: 53points POST Tobin Kern Tobin Kern Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago This comment is hidden.

Our school district was different from the kids local to the Burger King location. Their school district went on strike. Mine did not. So fast forward a few weeks and our Burger King was notorious for being slow in the middle of the week making the manager release people early from their shift. He would always let the other kids go and keep me on. When I asked why I couldn't go, he referenced seniority. I said, "Do any of them have a chemistry or AP test in the morning? Because I do." When he said my education didn't matter...I quit on the spot. 52 52points reply View More Replies...

I agree that a customer service job is a must. But there are other ways to get the experience without resorting to this kind of abuse. You can get experience being abused by corporations, management, and the public as a server in a sit-down restaurant too. But (yes, yes, we know, the US tipping thing is terrible and makes us a horrible country), with tips, most decent restauarants pay a wage a college student could live with (maybe not independent adults, although the server job I had was very lucrative). 19 19points reply View More Replies...

Burger King Posts A Sign Asking Parents Of 14 And 15 Year Olds To Let Them Apply For Jobs And People Are Outraged
84Kviews Jonas Grinevičius andDenis Tymulis
Publish Not your original work? Add source A fast-food restaurant in the United States has caused outrage after people saw that it was advertising work to teenagers. Normally, this wouldn't be much of an issue, as there's nothing wrong with getting a part-time job to learn the importance of money early on or helping out your struggling family. However, the current context-many restaurants not finding the employees they need because they're not offering good enough conditions and pay-makes it seem like someone's trying to take advantage of 14 and 15-year-old teens. Naturally, once people got wind of Burger King's 'desperate' ad in Ohio, they started poking fun at it on social media. Some joked about the fast-food restaurant supposedly conscripting kids into service while others pointed out that they're now looking for teen workers because the adults aren't biting. Keep in mind, though, that it's not illegal for teenagers to work in Ohio. But before we get into that, have a scroll down and check out some of the best responses to the BK ad. Upvote the tweets that you agree with and share your opinion about the situation in the comment section at the bottom of this list.

View more comments In Ohio, the state's child labor laws don't allow children who are 13 or younger to work, except in some very limited situations. Meanwhile, 14 and 15-year-old teens are allowed to work in a variety of jobs, but there's a limit to how many hours per day and per week they're allowed to do that. Especially when school's still in session. Meanwhile, 16 and 17-year-olds living in Ohio can work a far broader range of jobs. However, the work cannot be deemed "too hazardous." #4 mahxism Report Final score: 107points POST JessG JessG Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago This makes me angrier that angry!

However, they shouldn't expect to be earning a living wage like many grownup professionals. There is an exception, though, and that's if they've enrolled in work-oriented programs or are doing vocational cooperative training. In that case, the cap is raised to 40 hours per week. #13 JaneOst_ Report Final score: 59points POST Vasana Phong Vasana Phong Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago The new selective services 2021 edition 15 15points reply View more comments #14 shiva_kai Report Final score: 57points POST Nyneva Kyte Nyneva Kyte Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Yup.

The only thing is that they cannot be working during those hours when they should be at school. What's more, they can't start work super early if they've been working very late, as they're still growing and developing, so sleep is essential for them. #16 KaelArts Report Final score: 53points POST Tobin Kern Tobin Kern Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago This comment is hidden.

Our school district was different from the kids local to the Burger King location. Their school district went on strike. Mine did not. So fast forward a few weeks and our Burger King was notorious for being slow in the middle of the week making the manager release people early from their shift. He would always let the other kids go and keep me on. When I asked why I couldn't go, he referenced seniority. I said, "Do any of them have a chemistry or AP test in the morning? Because I do." When he said my education didn't matter...I quit on the spot. 52 52points reply View More Replies...

They can learn responsibility without also learning to be taken advantage of by a fast food chain driven solely by large margin profits. Working in the fast food industry is an insult. For the crap they put up with...they should be making a hell of a lot more than $7.25 per hour. 3 3points reply Jöe FlargnBlurgn Jöe FlargnBlurgn Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago They make $13.25 per hour here -3 -3points reply Sarra R Sarra R Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago 7.25 an hour in Indiana at min wage jobs and no one gets even c 30 hrs a week unless asst mgmnt. Even shift mgrs get close to 30. And shift mgrs get 0.25 to 0.50 more an hour.

They'd rather hire 14 & 15 year olds than pay a living wage to adults. 1 1point reply Potato Potato Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago I worked fast food at that age. My grades suffered and I missed out on extracurriculars that might have helped me get into college or get a scholarship. 0 0points reply Kenny Kulbiski Kenny Kulbiski Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Jeez, economics is complicated. When prices go up on products businesses say it's supply and demand, basic capitalism and keep the government out of my business. When there's a labor shortage it's socialism and the government has to do something. Apparently capitalism just works one way. 15 15points reply Deborah B Deborah B Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Or you could just, y'know, pay a living wage? 14 14points reply Participationtrophy Participationtrophy Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Pay a living wage?

I'd rather let them mow lawns or shovel driveways. They are their own boss and they can choose when to work. They will eventually become adults working on someone else's schedule. But for now...let them be kids. 16 16points reply Jöe FlargnBlurgn Jöe FlargnBlurgn Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago This comment is hidden.
