So Wednesday night I headed to my 8 p.m. "job interview." The same one that everyone thought was a porn audition. (A special thanks to all the guy friends who offered to help me "prepare" for my job interview).
Turns out it wasn't a porn audition, but strangely they still managed to find a way to try to screw me. The company is looking for people to promote their business and work events they hold for pretty much no pay. They're calling it an "internship program."
I'm pretty laid back, but this is one thing that really pisses me off. Companies that try to pimp you for free labor and then have the nerve to call it a freaking internship. Its not a freaking internship if you aren't teaching me anything. Its not a freaking internship if I work my ass off for you and don't get paid for it. That is volunteer work, not an internship. Call it what it is.
I'd like to put these posers on blast. If you're too cheap to pay a salary or if your company is just starting out its fine, just be real about it. Call it what it is.
