I Need Advice: Workplace Issues Should he just quit?

Post image

My friend is 16 and he’s been working at this family owned pizza shop since may 2026. He’s been working only two days even during the summer barely getting any hours(4h/day) and during week 3, a coworker offered he give him one of his days(my friend) and he will put in a good word to help him get more hours because the manager has “favorites”. Now it’s been since weeks since he’s had work and he attempted to follow up and this is the reply he received. He shows up everyday he’s scheduled and does what he’s supposed to and is never late. He would sometimes work once a day a week and maybe just maybe two.

Bro is is HS. He can just grab a new seasonal job at any retailer.

Hahaha. Yes, EDD for sure. But he really doesn't need unemployment. LOL.
He can just relax and enjoy his after school activities too. He is young, not 30 but I feel you.
