I was hired as a Digital marketing intern and offer letter said “Your stipend will be calculated based on my performance to proactively schedule appointments (3 per day) through digital marketing efforts”
I was fresh out of college and looking for job but couldn't find any, so when I settled for a an internship with pay I settled for less. Since the company in question does not have a any social media presence I thought I could experiment, but I was not allowed to do any digital marketing at all. They did not allow me to make any posts or any marketing material, instead made me do cold calls.
I have done everything from sorting out sheets to making streamlining their google sheets through custom scripts, ran mail campaigns and improved their templates secretly to improve their open and click rates. I have even done market research and website scraping.
While I have worked hard and diligently without taking any leaves, I have failed to make any sales as they do not have a product either and their services include ERP implementation and website building and revamping.
Moreover they made me install this privacy intrusive software called teamlogger which tracks and takes screenshots of my personal laptop.
They say 8 hours is a must and I am not allowed to punch out without completing 8 hours on the logger. I already have sometimes 10 – 15 minutes of idle time, and wherever it is even like 7 hours and 58 minutes that day will be counted as half day.
A meeting is scheduled in 2 hours to review my performance, I just want the money for the amount of work I have done. What do I do? Is there something I can do?
