Don’t Work for Free
If you can help it, don’t ever let your employer get free labor out of you. We know this is easier said than done in some situations, but if it’s within your power, don’t do it. This lady experienced an interview where the person interviewing her asked if she had any issues working for free on the weekends. Uh, yeah, she did, actually.
She responded that her free time is way more valuable than any job. She would work on weekends if the company paid her, like any normally functioning employer would. The interviewer immediately got defensive and ended the interview. Yikes! This place was super toxic, and they weren’t even trying to hide it!
