You first, asshole.
Talking about assholes, that’s where she can put it.
“Squarespace Exec Wants Slave Labor”
Great! Let’s up your income tax rate to 90% and add a 1% per annum wealth tax over 25mil in assets, so all tertiary education can be free and people can earn a universal basic income, while they get settled into a career path they love.
Hey that way we would have time for hobbies and socializing. They won’t let us have any of that shit.
Guillotine.
your lack of faith disturbs me arthur
Why do I want that as a tattoo?
Because you clearly have great taste in tattoos
Reminder that unpaid internships are almost always illegal in the USA. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/71-flsa-internships
She was able to work, for free, in her freshman summer, while going through for a finance degree. So many questions:
Where did the money come from? Who paid her tuition?
Why not go through for Co-op, where you obtain a job as part of schooling? Or why did she have to hunt for internships? Even my wife, who had unpaid internships and family to back her up during the same time, had help from the school to find it. How jank is U of Texas?
Why, pray tell, is a finance degree holder the CMO?
I mean, I’m happy for her, but how useful is her recommendations? If you don’t have a family who can pay your tuition and summer living costs, this is useless.
And ignoring how people need money in order to have shelter and food, what does she think happe s if everyone starts doing this? Should I be calling up everyone at SquareSpace and asking for a job?
It really does sound like one of those “with a small donation from my parents” story. And even if it’s not, great for her, she was lucky. Does she really believe most students just smoke weed and fuck all day or something? Every single person I knew from the US that went to uni worked during uni. Hell, even as a European I had to work despite the state money I got.
I know people who donated blood and plasma just to get by - and they had scholarships!
How can employers be “in dire need of employees” and people still have to hustle to get a job? They obviously aren’t in dire need.
G̶e̶n̶ Z̶ j̶o̶b̶ s̶e̶e̶k̶e̶r̶s̶ Squarespace CMO should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything.’
There’s an old Soviet joke.
We pretend to work. They pretend to pay us.
No no, guys. She’s right. We should TOTALLY bring back slavery!!! What? That’s whats being discussed here, right? Long hours, doing anything thats asked, without any compensation. That sounds like slavery to me.
Soooooo, who’s ready to bring back slavery??? Guys? Guys???
Well there you have it. The nays have it.
I think you vastly underestimate the number of people who are willing to bring back slavery today.
we already have slavery here. it was never gone…
Adding Squarespace to the black list…
Well, I’m never using Squarespace again.
that’s slavery, Karen
Its one full-time GenZ employee, Michael. How much could it cost? $10?
Woah, hold your horses there: Full time? 39 hours, no more.
29 hours. Once you pass 30, you are required to give health benefits
The key takeaway of the article is she was so unemployable when she started that she had to apply everywhere and be willing to put in extra effort and accept lesser pay to get started. Then after that, she got lucky.
That’s usually how it goes - especially for those who don’t have any defining traits.
Agreed. She had the right connection, had the right look, was in the right place at the right time, etc. Not saying she’s not intelligent, creative, etc–she probably is or wouldn’t be in these roles. She definitely didn’t get to where she is through hard work, though.
Not to mention Travelocity broke the law by allowing her to work for free while benefiting their company.
In general, as long as an employee is engaging in activities that benefit the employer, regardless of when they are performed, the employer has an obligation to pay the employee for that time.

They did. They paid her a rate of $0/hr, which she agreed to.

What is a CMO? Chief Medical Officer? Completely Moronic Outburster? Certainly not Chief Morale Officer?, with those views.
Chief marketing officer
Of course, the most cancerous and toxic career field. Marketing.
I swear 98.9999% of marketing is just scamming people.
Your estimate seems a few orders of magnitude low. I once had an Econ 101 professor who said she recognized that I should think about going into marketing as I would be good at it. I responded “Nah, I prefer my soul right where it is.” Little did she know it was already on the short bus headed for hell as I am agnostic and will enjoy the conversation with other righteous nonbelievers.
Working full-time for free is impossible without another source of income (like a trust fund, or exceptionally generous parents) that most of us don’t have access to. It irritates me that the article doesn’t even mention that. All I’m asking for is ONE sentence.
What’s this willing to do anything thing? Did she sell sex to get where she is now?
Yes, but not using her body.
