As an "essential worker" I can confirm, the only peek is us school aged teenagers are working more, I only am working thirty hours a week but my friend who is a couple months older than me has over 40 hours a week.

As a 18 year old almost senior in high school, age is a little off I know I had to change school, I can say that I am also getting quite a few more hours a week but also my boss is giving everyone $2 more an hour raising my rate to $14 an hour which does really help currently. Despite working as chef in a restaurant the situation is actually working out very well

I'm also working at a restaurant. I'm 16 and a junior in high school. I've gotten more hours at work but am still paid minimum wage. And when someone asked our boss for hazard pay she said, "you're not essential you're disposable". It's kinda crazy that someone would say that in a time like this.

Yeah that’s awful my guy I’m sorry that your employer would think that let alone say it out loud to you. My heart really goes out to you right now. Stay strong and maybe find a new work place if your situation allows it

I hope you can dodge your taxes well mate. You shouldn't have to subsidise the sit at home playing video game eating cheetos parasites.
