Life as a wage slave:
Applebees…
Unpaid Internships should be illegal.
This is ridiculous. Demanding someone to devote their entire day to you without payment or any reasonable consideration is being entitled af. This is the same bullshit as influencers demanding artists to work for them but compensate them with “exposure” instead of money. Expecting someone to work for free and provide only a recommendation in return or promotion, which is not even guaranteed, is just unethical. And WHY are so many people doing unpaid internships anyway??? Hell the White House just announced that for the first time ever, their interns will be paid…. so before that they weren't?? wtf
Two different sets of rules
And guess what? This time in two weeks I’ll be eating Olive Garden, napping, and prepping for my races. My happiness and personal life is worth more than 15.31 hours. I can positively impact my community in another way (and hopefully with a company that supports my swimming career, or I’ll just swim full time).
