Just had to share this one - made me giggle! (except for the employee being fired of course!)

this story made me giggle. Mostly because:
1) it's in my state.
2) I think I know the department store.
3) I can only wonder how the student passed work experience after that!
In terms of the ACTUAL program, you do 1 week at any place you like, but you are also responsible for organising the placement yourself. The only rule is that it has to have a shopfront or building of some kind that is NOT a house, so home-based businesses are out.
You are awarded the same rights as a paid worker and in some cases, 1 week of work experience has even led to a job. The only difference is that generally you are also placed under a strict start and finish time every day and provided with a lunch at that same time-oh and you're not paid.
Your responsibilities are also made clear from the start and the school does do periodic checks on the student. (so basically, the kid knew his responsibilities from the start)

http://notalwaysright.com/the-less-e...wo-evils/26045- I only didn't laugh at this one because it's almost midnight, and I don't want to wake my parents up

Now THAT'S a clever way to get rid of telemarketers who won't respect DNC & who refuse to talk to anyone but the husband!
