2. Thank you for looking out for your daughter. She is lucky to have you.
Most Americans are such sheep - I was hired about fifteen yrs ago for a firm that told me my first day would be training. AN hour into the training, the instructor explained to the roomful of us new trainees that we would not be paid for the day.

I left and never went back. But everyone else just sat there going, "Oh it isn't WORK, it's training, so we don't get paid."

Part of my reason for leaving was that I didn't want to work with co-workers who were sheep, though without the wool covering.

At that time in America, jobs were more plentiful - don't know if I could act on that same decision today.
