i hate admitting that i'm really new to the world, but i am, and the way i was raised did nothing to help that. i've only been learning about anticapitalism and human rights for a few years now, so i'm still unfamiliar with these things and unsure when i've spotted a red flag or if i'm just jumpy.
that said, i'm in the middle of online training for a senior caregiving position (16usd an hour pay), and one of the instructional videos listed accepting tips and/or gifts from a client as unethical. the lady gave reasons such as “you're already getting paid for your work” and “it might seem like you're taking bribes” (whatever that means), and those statements were setting alarm bells off in my head. am i right to feel suspicious about that? like it feels really sinister in a “we don't want you to make more money than we think you should” way. i don't know if i'm being paranoid.
