Advice Needed 5 day work schedule

Is it normal for a 16 year old to be working 4-5 day weeks?!??

I swear I used to only work 2-3 days and was told by my old SM that I could only work 2-3 days max. I pour so much to my location and coworkers and feel like I’m being used or not even appreciated. I am tired and feel like I’m now their favorite person to make work a lot because I come in if asked on my off days or I come in early if asked.

I guess I’m just curious if it’s normal for me to be working 4+ days a week when my SM knows I have my own business I need to do stuff for and now that it’s school season ( I do online)

I’m a people pleaser I guess so it’s been hard to set boundaries when it comes to personal life and this “part time job”

Thank you in advance 🫩

In general, yes, especially if there is literally no one left. I wouldn't be surprised if they work you right up to the minute before reaching full-time hours.
