Everyone has to follow rules whether you are at school, church, work, or just out in the streets. Today, we are going to use work for an example of a set of rules; because, everyone has responsibilities at work. It is hard to follow rules as a teenager because they are everywhere we go. The hardest rules to follow are the ones at work. Peer pressure, dress code and accepting authority from younger adults make it difficult to follow the rules set forth to us. However, rules are put in place to discipline us in the work place. The following rules are a part of the Maravilloso Teen Code while on the job.
Customer service is important on your job. Keep outside issues at home. Do not spread your negativity around the work place.
Never tweet or post anything negative about your job! I do not care if you do not want to go in or they made you angry at work. Posting a negative statement is the QUICKEST way to lose your job!
People are watching you and paying attention to your appearance. Keep your uniform neat and clean. This means iron your clothes and replace them if they become worn.
Be prompt, present and on time for work. Being on time shows that you are dependable and responsible. Many employers will fire you if you are late to work more than twice. They also value employees that are on time. This means you may be promoted sooner than your friends!
