Lpt: DO NOT ASK A PERSON IF THEY HAVE FOUND A JOB YET

If they have and you're important enough to them, you'll know when they tell you. If they haven't told you, either it's none of your GODDAMN BUSINESS or they're still looking.

You asking just reminds them they don't have a job. And if they've been looking for awhile, it's even worse. Especially if you actually said "yet" or added in some other "it's been awhile" modifier.

Nah, sorry. If you've got a lazy teenager (or even adult) living rent free in your basement, you have every right to pressure them about finding a job.

Except pressuring them is counterproductive and demotivating. Just adds to their stress and shame

They are living rent free. They don't have any stress
