Antiwork

What are some things you wish you knew about work when you were in high school?

Hi all! I'm looking to see what the antiwork hivemind has to say about work as a high school student. I work with high school students for my job, and a lot of students are looking into getting a summer job. I want to be able to give them relevant tips and workers' rights to keep in mind as the go through the job search process. Some thoughts I already had include: -How to leverage the interview process to see if the job will be a good fit. -Rights around being able to discuss wages. -Rights around quitting versus being fired and unemployment. -Navigating HR and documenting conversations. -Working in an “at will” state. -Benefits of union jobs versus non-union jobs. Thanks everyone!
