Is it unfair to be discriminated against as a young person in the workplace?

I’m just leaving school and going on to University looking for a full time job or more than 1 shift every week. My manager is hiring new people and continuing to prioritise everyone else in the workplace over me. I live with my parents but rely on my own income to pay for everything including food and other expenses. I cannot afford to live any longer, but can’t leave my workplace as I can’t find a new job.any advice?

As long as you don’t require a ton of special scheduling considerations due to your age or school then no. You should be able to get the same kind of hours as anyone else. The job market sucks. Just keep looking and applying. It takes a while but the right thing will come along.
