    Learning how to work with in the chain of command is an important part of first jobs. Understanding this helps a lot. Learning how and when to talk to ones superiors is an essential skill, that she can learn about now. Learning how to not let her co-workers affect her work is also essential.

      Your job description does not matter in the least - I am a loan officer at a bank but if the President of the bank asks me to go to his house and mow his yard today instead of sitting in here giving folks money I won't hesitate to go get it done. Your daughter needs to know that she is NOT limited to what her job description says in it. If she doesn't like the job then tell her to go find a new one BEFORE she quits this one and then make the switch. I would never teach someone that it is OK to quit your job until you have taken the responsibility of finding another one to replace it with. If she thinks there is something illegal going on, then she should start finding that new job now so that she can get out of the current job environment as soon as possible

        There's always two sides to the story. You're only getting one side. Just remember that. If the owner thinks babysitting is appropriate, then your daughter needs to do what they say, or move on to something else. Just remind her that anywhere, I mean anywhere, she works there is always going to be at least one probably more people she doesn't like or get along with. I would suggest looking for other work like others have mentioned.

        If she is doing their work then don't do it anymore. If it's the other workers responsibility, when it's not done, the other people will get the blame for it.

        I'm not real sure what illegal activity means so I can't provide any insight on that.

          If you are paid by the hour then you should work to the best of your ability for the hours you are paid. I have never understood the "working your butt off" comment from an hourly worker (unless of course you are digging ditches or some other hard physical work). I agree with the find another job FIRST then move on.

          And life is not "fair". If you truly do your best and care (even when others are not watching) then it will be noticed.

            This is actually the best piece of information you can take from this thread.

              Been my experience in local hardware stores,that most of the grunts make very little money,and are (well,check your memory bank)...If she's a hard worker,she won't have any trouble finding another job,and putting up with b.s. Is not part of the job.
              When the b.s.level goes past my boiling point,that's when I start sending out invitations to the "end of the rd"...Your daughter,should send out those same invitations,but in place of her,the uncles, boyfriends,Hard heads,and fighters will be there to tell em to knock it off....IMO
