I started working full time during the summer the year I turned 13. I was working for my family’s company and my safety was always the most important thing.
In the current environment of the exploration of workers I feel that it is unacceptable for children to work for any company other than a family company or a small company that will not exploit them and that will protect them.
Small companies vary widely in their morals. The best ones might indeed protect and teach, rather than exploit, a young worker. The worst ones . . . are worse than any large company, and you can’t always tell from outside which type you’ve got. And family companies can be just as bad as any other small company, alas.
Remember that this was YOUR family’s company. Family businesses writ large definitely don’t have a good reputation as far as their non-relative workers are concerned. At least with a megacorporation you can expect some guardrails that will limit their abuses.

i would not expect that tbh but yeah megacorps are serious about managing their liability, they will generally avoid crime unless they can get away with it.
most small biz owners are too stupid to understand liability so they just do as they please which is generally either a crime or breach of various civil laws and regulations.
Agreed in pricipal because family businesses are frequently how knowledge is passed from generation to generation, but family and small businesses can also exploit and not protect children and still need oversight on safety.

Cute that you believe this

I am sure some employees of mega corps also happy with their treatment too
The point being is that it is an exception to the general savagery of “legal persons”
It’s got to be stressful to be so cynical. I’m sorry.

Like the mega corporations that have children cleaning equipment at night in abattoirs?
At least I know who I am deal with and able to fight the good fight
It is a lot harder being fucked while living a delusion IMHO
You seem really dedicated to being miserable. That really sucks for you.
are you going to keep up the bootlicking, boy?
So much anger. It must really eat you up inside. I’m sorry that you’re like this. It’s got to be very stressful.

I’m sorry that you’re so angry. I really feel sorry for you. I wish you were happy.
