[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 671945, member: 16024"] I can't speak about your son's Taco Bell position directly, of course, but having had three teens/young adults in the workplace for the last twelve years or so, I can say that a lot of managers S**K and training is OFTEN poor/non-existent. And it is not just special-needs employees who need good training, it is everyone. Sure, some people are better at the fake-it-till-you-make-it game, but it is still a problem. My daughters worked at a local video store when they were teens (back when such a thing existed!) They actually created a new and improved training system for the store when they became assistant managers. One of my daughters was the HR person for a store of a national chain (luckily she has a new fantastic job now) and was constantly butting heads with the store manager over employee treatment/training. It was so bad sometimes that she would go home and cry. And call me. Turnover was really bad. My son knew he was not cut out for the retail world and stuck with jobs like lifeguarding, over-night warehouse work, etc. I really sympathize with these young adults. [/QUOTE]
