Antiwork

I hate this type of work.

So today, I (18M) went to my after school camp, where I work for minimum wage. It’s my first month here, and today was my last day before we go into holidays. I sat outside with the kids, that were all waiting for their parents. Suddenly, a middle-aged woman comes up to me. She tells me she is M’s mom, and she wants to talk to me. I shrug my shoulders a bit, because M is a really rude and disrespectful kid. She talks back to the staff (like me) in a really disgusting tone, and she never does what she’s told. She even once tried to forcefully kiss one of the girls, and while I know that they’re young kids, that’s not acceptable. Anyhow-back to her Karen mom, she goes ahead and tells me that she pays a lot of money for her child to be here, and she…

Anyhow-back to her Karen mom, she goes ahead and tells me that she pays a lot of money for her child to be here, and she will not let me tell her daughter anything. I then proceeded to tell her what she did, and then-oh, my fucking god. She goes and screams at me (in front of her kids, other kids and other parents) that I’m not a kid in kindergarten, and that I’m just nitpicking her child, and that I can’t talk to her in this tone, and that I’m immature, and other stuff that literally did not happen and was quite rude and unprofessional. Before I even get a chance to explain to her that since she’s M’s mom, she might’ve only heard a part of the story, and not all of it, a councillor (other staff that are higher up than me) that happened to know her, told her to calm down and leave, and that she’ll talk to me. I was able to tell her (the Karen mom) that she should not talk to me like that, but that’s about it. Two councillors talked to me, and while they fully backed me up, I told them that this type of behaviour should not be tolerated. I might be a bit salty because it happened an hour ago, but damn. I am not getting paid enough to deal with this bullshit.
