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.
Cute that you believe this
It's got to be stressful to be so cynical. I'm sorry.
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.
Like the mega corporations that have children cleaning equipment at night in abattoirs?
