I'm getting trash talked at work, what do I do??
(TLDR at the end, but I would recommend you actually read the whole thing.) I'm 15 and I work with some other teenagers so my mom said it was normal im getting trash talked since. yknow. they're teens. But it's not the teens that i'm having a problem with, It's the literal grown adults. I recently had a shift with my coworker Jess (I think she's like 28), my friend who also works there, and another person around jess's age. I work at Zumiez and I was working in the back with the skateboards since I was the only person on shift that actually skated. My friend randomly texted me while she was on break and apparently Jess and the person around her age were trash talking me in the break room and saying this. "She's lazy, she acts like she can just take over the entire store because she knows how to skateboard." Her friend also said "all the teenagers don't do anything" which is ironic because the last time I checked literal high schoolers were running the store that day and her and Jess spent almost all of it in the break room. I have no idea why.. as a 28 year old grown woman you have a problem with a 15 year old just tryna make some money. Anyways, should I report her to HR?? Should I quit?? I'm just really fed up with it since this isn't the first time she's done this. TLDR; My 28 year old coworker and her friend are trash talking me when i'm literally just a 15 year old girl tryna do my job and idk what to even do at this point.
Can I say i'm 16 instead of 15 when i'm applying for a job that says 16+?
A skateboard/retail shop is currently hiring and I've been thinking of working here ever since I turned 15 since I know how to skate. I would love to have an opportunity there, but i'm 1 year under the age requirement. I'm willing to take the risk of getting in trouble, but the question is if I actually can or not.
Why don’t colleges support extreme sports?
The skateboarding and surfing industry is expanding endlessly, and almost all colleges continue to support team sports, while starting a Surf team is difficult at most universities. Skateboarding and surfing will be in the olympics soon as well. #sports #skateboarding #surfing #athletics #recruitment #college-recruiting #college-athletics
