| 1148576 | 2010-10-31 01:37:00 | I mean why would an org have 2 paid staff on the floor and up to 5 students. I think one of students got a bit of a telling off, that he was to give a daily report on exatly what they did. They thought he was working too slow. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1148577 | 2010-10-31 01:41:00 | It is not fair, I know. | forums12345 (15197) | ||
| 1148578 | 2010-10-31 01:42:00 | With 6yr work experience, I'm not that desparate. I can work for another voluntarily, or get a first IT job formally and that can count my 2 weeks or I can go back to my other life. |

| 1148580 | 2010-10-31 01:59:00 | Well who knows it could turn into a full time paid position in the long run. Remember they also use their resources and time not to mention money to train you guys. | forums12345 (15197) | ||

Nope. There is a dude there who has graduated and continue to work for them unpaid, he attended a job interview and wasn't expected to turn up, but they rang him to see if he could anyway. No training was provided, another student who's been there for a week just taught me in 5mins. |

I understand, well that is just sad, if you guys are doing the work that an employee there is doing without any kind of training and supervision then employer should pay you guys something even if it is minimum wage. I guess some people like to take an advantage with graduates and entry level I.T people in this economy, they know that experience is important and since they got nothing else to do they would not leave. I mean working for free is better than sitting at home and doing nothing after all so some volunteers choose not to leave. |

| 1148583 | 2010-10-31 23:12:00 | Yes this is what happens when there are no Unions, workers get exploited, there is nothing new about this, I don't see why we have to learn the same lessons over and over again. It must mean that there is an ongoing battle between bosses and workers and the workers have short memories or the bosses never stop trying to exploit. More, better, faster cheaper - race to the bottom. |
