Antiwork

bad feeling about internship offer, but worried my savings will run out, are these red flags?

for context ive applied to two seperate internships, both paid. both sent me an offer letter with the wages cut. i'm only going to be talking about one of them though. im a designer, and i would essentially be working for a company i don't believe in at all. its like the worst version of buzzfeed and the whole point is to design those horrible ads quiz ads that everyone hates and make ads to get people to buy fucking products. not only that but the lead I'd be working under is very harsh and the environment is extremely fake. the workload and design test they gave me was very hard and they had no respect for my time or asked me if i was available to take the test. i had to give up a weekend for them. when i told them i accepted the other internship as well…

i'm moving out very soon and i have some money but worried it'll dry up if i don't just take it. i'll apply to whatever i can even food jobs. are these all red flags to anyone else?
