Woman reveals she was not ‘thanked’ after quitting job, sparking online debate
Twice as many young women as men are quitting their jobs because of the abuse they cop from customers, alarming new research by digital youth engagement platform Year13 has found.“It’s shocking to see one in eight teenage girls and young women report that they’ve been driven out of a job due to customer abuse,” Year13 co-founder Saxon Phipps told news.com.au.
“This job gave me a lot of experience with people but the stress and anxiety it caused every day was certainly something I’d never want to experience again.”“It’s like they think because we look young we are easy to manipulate and harass,” she said. “But comparing 18+ women and men, I don’t think I ever heard of or saw the older guys being subject to harassment, it felt like all customers respected them.“So it was definitely more female-orientated.
“I worked with a company that was very poor with communication and wasn’t able to accommodate what I was asking for,” she said.Two in five young Aussies got a job with a supermarket or fast-food chain, while 36 percent said their first paying gig was at a cafe or pub.“I have also had a couple jobs where the turnover was so high and quick that I became a supervisor within a few months because the environment was so toxic”.Ellie Kate, 22, revealed to news.com.
