used, abused & taken advantage of...

Wed May 28, 2008, 2:22 PM
Well my previous journal entry was about how happy i was to pretty much get a design job.

This i the opposite.

NO ONE EVER WORK FOR ZLATA CREATIVE!!!

They used me for an unpaid 2 week trial, they got 9 days free work out of me and then said i wasn't suited and didn't pay enough attention to detail. They waited to the very last minute to say this so they could get as much free work out of it as possible.

The boss and 2nd in charge weren't even in the office the 2nd week. they were in india, so how were they supposed to assess me???!!?!??!?!!! I completed all the tasks perfectly, i made a few minor mistakes but i fixed them. Parts of my designs were chosen by clients and moved into final artwork. I fixed up errors that fellow employees made. I got along with everyone! I can't justify the reasoning they gave me. They were just using me to get some work out of the way for 2 weeks without having to ay the extra wage.

I am livid.
I feel worthless.
I feel un-credible.
I felt like my designs were no where near standard.
Feel like i'll never get a junior design job. Like if i can't even prove myself in a trial then what chance have i got.

I am so poor.

I not only went 2 weeks without wage i spent money on it for travel etc.

I am now going to sue the asses off Zlata Creative.
They are beneath me, and i don't want to work there any more.
Not if they treat people this way.
they have no respect for an individual, no respect for their time and ability.
How dare they make me sign an agreement for a 2 week unpaid trial.
How dare they not offer and hourly wage.
Pieces of shit.

I wanted this job so bad, i was thinking anout all the short and long term plans of working there. I loved the team, I loved the work, and i ultimately loved every moment, I went to work excited and interested. It didn't feel like work, that is what i want a job that doesn't feel like work that i'm not just doing for money, but for enjoyment as well.

So at this stage in time i am tired and hurt, i feel used.
I know i am better than them, and i was more than capable to do this job. I hope they don't do this to anyone else.

yea. exactly. Tough they'll wish it never happened. I aint going quietly. It started with a very long email written to them on how disgusted i was with the situation. Next is calling up the dep of fair trade and pleading my case. I now another business that got fined $2000 for this exact thing a few years back, so i know they are going to have to cough up money as well as the pay they owe me.

Busking for change and changing everything
Feeble Fables aren't changing anything,
It's my time to shine, like the tuna in the brine,
for my pregnant paws aren't changing anything.
:iconmindfire:
sue them. do it. take this higher. they want you to back away and disappear, they can't do that its downright illegal!

i'm behind you 100% on this, even though i can't do anything you have my moral support :)
:iconali-musette:
