Reporting something wrong at work is scary. Look up how to do it safely, then do it.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

The fear here is specific and not irrational: shifts cut, a reference soured, a cold atmosphere for the rest of the summer. Those are real possibilities, which is exactly why the method matters as much as the decision does. Doing this well is a procedure with known steps rather than a matter of nerve, and the steps are what protect you.

Find out what the policy actually says. Write down what happened with dates, keep a copy somewhere that is not their system, and tell one adult outside the job before you raise it inside.
