WHAT

pay me $15/hr and I'll let you do work for me

I hate that it's labeled 15$ per hour

The inevitable result of every position requiring experience

"Experience" then becomes a commodity that can be sold

Fucking. Incredible.

full-time, $15 an hour, what the FUCK

reverse financed internship might be the worst three words i've ever seen strung together

REVERSE FINANCED INTERNSHIP

on the one plus side, somebody tweeted about it and Indeed took down the listing

apparently

well that's good

I mean it is a deceptive listing, full stop

But I don't doubt there's a lot more of these around

honestly this seems less like "this is the next phase of capitalism" and more just like a scam on the level of those guys who would sell empty ps4 boxes on ebay

although the two concepts are very similar

You know what, there's enough negativity going around right now

reverse financed internship!

They also don’t provide a computer to do the data entry on, but they’ll rent one to you for 9.99 an hour. Also, you have to rent a cubicle for $1595 a month. It is highly recommended that you eat at the company cafeteria where you’re given a $5 employee discount when you spend at least $30 on lunch!

Oh and all parking is metered or in a pay to park structure

this is just grad school
